MADISON - Tomorrow, former U.S. Senator Doug Jones will continue the “Protect Our Retirement” tour to campaign for President Biden across Wisconsin, with stops in Green Bay and Milwaukee. Sen. Jones will host roundtable discussions with voters who have benefited from Social Security and Medicare to highlight the threat Donald Trump poses to these lifesaving benefits. As president, Trump proposed cuts to Social Security and Medicare every year he was in office. Since then, he has said that “there is a lot you can do … in terms of cutting” these programs and dismissed Social Security and Medicare as bribes for the American people. Trump’s cuts would affect 1.3 million Wisconsinites who rely on these programs. President Biden and Vice President Harris have fought hard to protect and strengthen these critical services, and have extended Medicare and Social Security solvency. Hardworking Americans deserve the benefits they’ve spent their careers paying into, and President Biden made it clear during his State of the Union address: “If anyone here tries to cut Social Security or Medicare or raise the retirement age, I will stop you.” WHAT: Former U.S. Senator Doug Jones highlights Donald Trump’s threats to Social Security and Medicare during stops across Wisconsin WHO: Former U.S. Senator Doug Jones WHEN: Thursday, June 6 9:00 a.m.: Green Bay, former Senator Doug Jones to hold a Social Security and Medicare roundtable in Green Bay to hold Donald Trump accountable for threatening these critical services. 2:30 p.m.: Milwaukee, former Senator Doug Jones to hold a Social Security and Medicare roundtable in Milwaukee to hold Donald Trump accountable for threatening these critical services. |
