2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders are butting heads over Social Security.
The former vice president released a video late Tuesday, where he criticized Sanders for launching “dishonest attacks against fellow Democrats.”
“I’ve been fighting to protect — and expand — Social Security for my whole career,” Biden wrote along with the video, adding, “Any suggestion otherwise is just flat-out wrong.”
The video says, “Bernie’s negative attacks won’t change the truth: Joe Biden is still the strongest Democrat to beat Donald Trump.”

In response to Biden, Sanders’ campaign manager Faiz Shakir rebuked the video in a statement late Tuesday.
“Joe Biden just released the first negative ad of the 2020 Democratic primary, and let’s be clear about why: he’s trying to distort his decades-long record of proposing and voting for cuts to Social Security benefits for millions of people. Joe Biden is no defender of Social Security, and a negative ad won’t help him outrun his record.”
