On the campaign trail, Donald Trump suggested Monday he was open to cutting spending on Social Security and Medicare. During an interview on CNBC, Trump said, “There is a lot you can do in terms of entitlements, in terms of cutting.” President Biden responded with a message on social media, saying, “Not on my watch.”
Meanwhile, the Republican National Committee has fired over 60 staffers just days after Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump became the RNC’s new co-chair as the former president strengthens his control of the party.
In other Trump news, the former president is seeking to delay the start of his upcoming hush money trial, which is slated to begin March 25 in New York. Trump has requested the trial wait until the U.S. Supreme Court reviews his immunity claim in another case.
