U.S. President Joe Biden warned Florida's voters that 'democracy is on the ballot' ahead of midterm elections that would determine whether Democrats hold Congress
GOLDEN BEACH, Fla., Nov 1 - President Joe Biden on Tuesday cast potential 2024 Republican rival Ron DeSantis as "Donald Trump incarnate," warning voters days before U.S. midterm elections that Republicans could take away their healthcare and retirement benefits.
With just seven days to go until elections that will determine whether Democrats retain control of Congress and the ability to pass Biden's agenda, the Democratic president made his first trip in office to Florida of a partisan nature. Biden lost the state to Trump in 2020. Florida has one the largest shares of senior citizens among U.S. states. One in five residents is over the age of 65.
Republican Senator Rick Scott of Florida has proposed requiring Congress to periodically pass legislation renewing government programs including Social Security and Medicare that are now guaranteed without such a renewal. But Scott has also said that he and other senior Republicans want to preserve those benefit programs.
about the midterm elections, and administration officials say they are now worried Democrats could lose control of both chambers of Congress. Several key state governor races are also contested. "With God's grace, we are going to win two more seats in the Senate," Biden told campaign donors during the event for Crist in Golden Beach.
