President Joe Biden on Monday quickly slapped down Donald Trump’s suggestion in a CNBC interview that “there is a lot” that can be done in terms of cutting the government programs Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
“Not on my watch,” Biden said in a social media post on X in response to a video of Trump’s comment that was posted by his reelection campaign.
It was the latest quick response by Biden and his campaign to something said by the former president, who as the presumptive Republican nominee is on track to face Biden in November in a rematch of the 2020 election. The White House also issued a statement calling the idea of cutting Social Security and Medicaid “exactly backwards.”
Trump was asked Monday by CNBC’s Joe Kernen on “Squawk Box” if he had changed his “outlook on how to handle entitlements: Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.”
