John,
Yesterday, the Trump administration presented its plan to defund Social Security to the Republican Senate caucus. Reports say that we’re winning―but we can’t rest. From Washington Post reporter Seung Min Kim:1
Social Security Works and our allies are continuing to apply pressure inside the Capitol. But one thing Republicans have made clear is that they only care about public opinion up to a point―so we need to send strong messages a number of different ways!
Senators Graham and Daines are up for re-election this November, and their Democratic challengers are both ready to be Social Security and Medicare champions! Chip in $7 to their campaigns here!
Steve Bullock, who is challenging Sen. Daines, is a 2-term Democratic governor of Montana. He’s been elected statewide in Montana three times. Daines is worried, and he’s right to be―especially if he keeps backing Trump’s plan to defund and destroy Social Security!
Jaime Harrison is the strongest challenger Lindsey Graham has ever had in South Carolina. He’s winning the fundraising race against one of Trump’s closest allies, and he’s doing it without selling out progressive values.
Bullock and Harrison can both win in November with our help. And strong showings today will make clear to Graham and Daines that sticking with Trump’s plan to destroy Social Security is a HUGE liability. We can stop them now, AND at the ballot box in November. Chip in $7 today!
Even their own colleague, Sen. Chuck Grassley, admits that Trump’s FICA cut is effectively raiding Social Security.2 Together, we’re going to stop this dangerous scheme to defund and destroy our Social Security system!
Thanks,
Alex Lawson Social Security Works PAC
