| Description | Former Vice President Mike Pence said Wednesday that cuts to Medicare and Social Security should be "on the table for the long term," differentiating himself from former President Donald Trump as he considers a run for the Oval Office.
The future of the major entitlement programs is quickly shaping up as a battleground for the 2024 Republican presidential primary, particularly between early frontrunners: Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. That is happening against the backdrop of President Joe Biden using his State of the Union address to criticize GOP proposals to shrink the entitlement programs, including a since-amended plan by Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., that would have put them at risk of termination every five years. |
