TAMPA, Fla. – Recently at a packed rally in Philadelphia, Donald Trump hit Joe Biden hard over his decision to cut Medicare Advantage.

Trump called it a “total betrayal of seniors,” and went on to say he would “not cut one penny from Social Security or Medicare, which Joe Biden is destroying by letting millions of people come into our country.”

Biden’s cut means nearly 3 million Florida seniors, many of whom rely on fixed incomes, will see their supplemental benefits slashed by nearly $400 per year. In Florida, where 58% of Medicare beneficiaries are enrolled in Medicare Advantage, this cut hits particularly hard.

And where does Biden’s admirer, socialist-endorsed Florida senate candidate Debbie Mucarsel-Powell stand?  Exactly where you’d expect.  She is supporting Joe Biden, even after his debate performance where he showed he’s not fit for office. Despite Biden’s decision to cut Medicare, she hasn’t stood up for Florida seniors. That’s a huge difference: Rick Scott and Donald Trump have made it clear there will be no cuts to Social Security or Medicare.

Statement from Team Rick Scott Spokesman Will Hampson: “Joe Biden doesn’t care about hardworking Florida seniors. In fact, he would rather pay for illegal aliens’ healthcare and cut the hard-earned benefits of American seniors. Donald Trump and Rick Scott have been clear in their opposition to cutting Social Security or Medicare. Does Biden’s endorsed Florida Senate Candidate Debbie Mucarsel-Powell agree with Joe Biden’s cuts, or will she stand with President Trump and Senator Scott and oppose this?”
