.POTUS has attacked the GOP for trying to dismantle Social Security, Medicare, and -- most recently -- Obamacare and Medicaid. The GOP looks to push back against the claims before Biden announces a 2024 bid for the White House.
But the Republican counterattacks risk being too little, too late as Biden amplifies his message in Virginia this week and prepares to announce a likely 2024 reelection campaign.The potency of the Democrats' entitlements criticism of Republicans emanates from partisan cliches and"a predetermined narrative" that Democrats increase taxes and spending and the GOP decrease taxes and spending, according to Republican strategist Susan Del Percio.
"When it comes down to the Republicans and, you know, changing the narrative, it comes down to show me the money," she added."Show me where the money's going to get cut." But as Scott tries to mitigate the political damage, others, such as Sens. Ron Johnson and Mike Lee , as well as former Vice President Mike Pence, have argued that entitlement spending has to be addressed.

The NRSC has also pointed to a separate Avalere Health report this month that found Biden’s"Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services CY 2024 Advance Notice could cut Medicare Advantage by $540 per Medicare Advantage enrollee on average next year, or 29%."
