GOP aims to overhaul Social Security.

Republicans are pushing back against accusations from Democrats that they want to cut Social Security, instead putting pressure on President Biden to address the program's insolvency threat. Some GOP members have criticized the absence of a plan to shore up Social Security in the president's 2024 budget proposal. Democrats have been on the offensive on Social Security for months, but some senators in the party have signaled a willingness to explore bipartisan solutions to help shore up funds for Social Security and Medicare.
