In a Way, It’s a Silver Tsunami, Too
Seniors and their families can join Americans of all ages in celebrating Tuesday’s Blue Tsunami. It was a Silver tsunami, too – in the sense that the Democrats’ winning control of both house of Congress presents a historic opportunity to strengthen Social Security and make health care more affordable. Or… given that Trump still has veto power, Democrats can at least lay the groundwork for progress in 2028 and beyond.
Recapping our Endorsements for Tuesday’s Elections
As our Social Security on the Ballot campaign draws to a close, polling suggests that midterm candidates who support strengthening the program (and oppose benefit cuts) will largely prevail on Tuesday. "Even if Social Security isn’t voters’ top issue, per se, it plays into the number one concern in this campaign: Affordability," says Max Richtman, NCPSSM President and PAC board member.

Trump & GOP Candidates Have Pushed Social Security Privatization, Cuts
It’s been quite a week for Republicans telling us how they really feel about Social Security – from the President to GOP candidates in key races. On Wednesday, President Trump admitted that he wanted to privatize Social Security “so badly” after he won in 2016, but “Democrats and some Republicans” stopped him, because it was “risky.” You think?
