President Joe Biden on Wednesday doubled down on attacks against top Republicans who have designs on ending Social Security and Medicare during an appearance in Wisconsin, less than 24 hours after a contentions back-and-forth with GOP audience members during his second State of the Union address.
When Mr Biden spoke in the House chamber on Tuesday, the Republican side of the chamber responded to his reference to a widely publicised GOP plan to “sunset” popular programs such as Social Security and Medicare with a chorus of boos, after which Mr Biden took pains to stress that only “some” on the GOP side of the aisle have issued such a proposal.
