Examining Harris and Trump Social Security, Medicare plans

Season 2024 Episode 306 | 6m 49s

In the final days of this election, both presidential candidates are trying to win over older voters with their plans for entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare. Social Security is at risk of being depleted as soon as 2034 and Medicare could be insolvent by 2036. Lisa Desjardins has a look at how both campaigns say they'll tackle the issue.
