x Biden: For decades big pharma won year in, year out, because they own chunks of the congress, because they had help, like your senior
senator, Ron Johnson who said he opposed lowering drug costs because it would result in punishing the pharmaceutical industry. Come on Man pic.twitter.com/dFQWhWI7ar — Acyn (@Acyn) September 5, 2022
x Biden: To this day, MAGA Republicans defend the mob that stormed the Capitol. Senator Johnson said it was a peaceful protest. Have you seen the videos of what happened that day pic.twitter.com/uhF6QGDrZY — Acyn (@Acyn) September 5, 2022

President Joe Biden blasted Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson on Johnson’s home turf, accusing him and other Republicans of trying to strip Americans of their Social Security and other government benefits.
“These MAGA Republicans in Congress are coming for your Social Security,” Biden said Monday at a rally in Milwaukee, referencing former President Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan.
Biden several times singled out Johnson -- who polls indicate is trailing Democrat Mandela Barnes, the lieutenant governor, in his bid for a third term in November -- citing also his opposition to a Democratic plan aimed at lowering prescription drug prices.
With two months to go before voters head to the polls, Biden has been ramping up his efforts to aid fellow Democrats in midterm contests that will determine whether Democrats retain their slim House and Senate majorities.
He’s repeatedly sought to tie Johnson and other Republican candidates to Trump and paint them holding extreme positions that would hurt middle-class Americans.
Biden cited Johnson’s opposition to Democrats’ $437 billion health, climate and tax legislation, which he signed into law last month. That measure included a provision allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices for the first time.
Biden said Johnson “opposed lowering drug costs because it would result in punishing the pharmaceutical industries” and assailed him for voting against capping the cost of insulin.
