Why can’t the federal government live within its means, like New York’s families, seniors and small businesses must do?

On Jan. 20, 2025, the United States will start a new chapter in more ways than one.

Here’s the truth:
I have NOT and will NEVER cut Social Security and Medicare. I’ve fought hard to protect these vital programs, which so many of our seniors rely on, and I will continue to fight to ensure they remain strong and sustainable for future generations.

Last month, the House of Representatives passed my bill, the Antisemitism Awareness Act, with overwhelming support by a vote of 320 to 91.
