President Biden’s reelection campaign claimed Wednesday that the Republican Study Committee’s (RSC) budget proposal was ripped straight from former President Donald Trump’s reelection wish list.
The group, which represents nearly 80% of all House Republicans, called for raising the retirement age for people who are not near retirement “to account for increased life expectancy” in the budget released Wednesday. The budget also supports legislation that would place restrictions on abortions that could threaten in vitro fertilization.
“Donald Trump’s MAGA allies today announced that a vote for Trump will lead to MAGA’s 2025 policy of cutting Social Security, stripping access to in vitro fertilization, and banning abortions nationwide,” said Michael Biden campaign communications director. We made it clear that this was a vote to make the agenda a hellish reality,” Tyler said in a statement.
“The American people are watching as President Trump and his allies pursue extreme policies, and they will send President Biden and Vice President Harris back to the White House this November,” Tyler said. said.
Biden has repeatedly pledged to protect Social Security and Medicare and has consistently attacked Republicans for any threats to them.
The Biden campaign cited President Trump’s recent statement in a CNBC interview that “there’s a lot we can do about rights.” President Trump later walked back his own remarks, saying he would “never do anything to jeopardize or harm Social Security or Medicare.”
