On Tuesday, Biden stepped on stage at the Advocates, Counselors and Representatives for the Disabled conference in Chicago. The 82-year-old spoke warmly about his childhood and family before shifting to what he called “an issue that’s front and center for millions of Americans”: Social Security.
Biden opened by honoring the day’s designation as Social Security National Day of Action by Democrats, saying: ”Everyone in this room fights for people with disabilities who rely on Social Security to survive – and it’s not just the physical side, it’s the mental side. You make sure folks get the benefits they earn after a lifetime of hard work, the work they do is more than just a profession, what you do, it’s a calling.”
