Social Security War Room

Social Security is a promise to the American people: work hard, pay in, and when you retire, you can count on those benefits. 

Now, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are taking a chainsaw to the Social Security Administration and threatening the benefits that millions of Americans have paid into their entire working lives.

Not on our watch. Senate Democrats are united in fighting back on behalf of every senior, every parent of a kid with a disability supported by Social Security, every person currently paying into the program for their retirement, and every American who cares that seniors can retire with dignity. 

Watch the launch of Senate Democrats’ Social Security War Room below.
