...Former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders may have made amends on a Sanders surrogate's claims in an op-ed that Biden was "Corrupt," but the two presidential candidates' feud over social security is far from over-as new videos released from both campaigns show.
...The Sanders' camp doubled-down on their criticism, pointing to comments from Biden throughout his nearly 40-year career in the Senate discussing freezes to the entitlement program, arguing it was Biden who was trying to "Doctor" his record.
..."As Democrats we can't launch dishonest attacks against fellow Democrats. We have to beat Donald Trump. Now Bernie's campaign has launched a barrage of negative attacks against Joe Biden and they've even accused Joe Biden of supporting Paul Ryan's cuts to social security. Bernie's campaign is not telling the truth," the video said, going on to defend Biden's record on Social Security.
..."Joe Biden just released the first negative ad of the 2020 Democratic primary, and let's be clear about why: he's trying to distort his decades-long record of proposing and voting for cuts to Social Security benefits for millions of people. Joe Biden is no defender of Social Security, and a negative ad won't help him outrun his record." Sanders' campaign manager Faiz Shakir said in a statement.
...A CNN/SSRS poll released Wednesday showed Sanders with a 3-point lead over Biden for the nomination, within the poll's margin of error, while a Monmouth poll showed Biden topping Sanders by 7 points with just 12 days to go until the primary officially begins.
