Midterm elections latest news: Social Security, Medicare ‘under siege,’ Biden warns if Republicans win

With a week until Election Day, President Biden contrasted the parties’ visions for the country, noting in a speech at his first Florida stop that “this ain’t your father’s Republican Party.” He warned about what Republican policies could mean for seniors on issues including Social Security and Medicare. And he will appear later Tuesday at a pair of political events with the state’s Democratic nominees for Senate and governor. Both of them face tough challenges against GOP incumbents. Rep. Val Deming (D-Fla.) is trying to topple Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), while Charlie Crist, the former Republican governor turned Democratic congressman, is trying to unseat Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).
