NewsNation’s Leland Vittert says looking to get rid of Social Security and changing the process of getting the checks is an enormous problem for any politician. He said on Tuesday’s “On Balance” that Trump administration officials are not getting the memo on how worried people are about cuts to Social Security being made by DOGE.
“Finding fraud is great,” Vittert said. “But it doesn’t matter if you mess with the process of people getting their Social Security checks.”
