'Today's Senate runoff in Georgia is so crucial. The Democratic incumbent, Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA), is a steadfast champion of protecting Social Security and Medicare's earned benefits.'
Scott is far from the only Republican aiming to cut our earned benefits. The Republican Study Committee, a group that counts about 75 percent of House Republicans as members, released ato cut Social Security in multiple ways: Raising the retirement age to 70 , slashing middle class benefits, and handing billions of dollars of Social Security's revenue over to Wall Street and private insurance corporations.
Re-electing Raphael Warnock is critical to protecting Social Security from Republican attacks. If Warnock wins, Democrats will have a true majority of 51 Senate seats, instead of the current power-sharing agreement where ties are broken by the vice president. That means Democrats will have full control of key committees, and a much easier path to confirming nominees who will fight for working people and seniors.
Warnock's re-election would also weaken the power of the most conservative Democrats—including Sen. Joe Manchin , who recentlyin working with Republicans on a"deal" that could cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Re-electing Warnock will give Democrats a better chance of retaining control of the Senate in 2024, reducing the likelihood of a future Republican majority cutting Social Security and Medicare.
Last month, voters sent Republicans a message: Hands off our earned Social Security and Medicare benefits! Now, it's time for Georgia voters to finish the job by re-electing Raphael Warnock to the U.S. Senate.is the president of Social Security Works PAC. He is best known as “Bowzer” from the hit TV series and musical group “Sha Na Na.” Since 2004, he has traveled the country acting as a surrogate on senior issues for dozens of political campaigns.
