DeSantis and Haley Clash Over Social Security Reform

Haley Accuses DeSantis of Hypocrisy, DeSantis Misrepresents Haley's Stance and Life Expectancy Trends

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis criticized former U.S. ambassador Nikki Haley during a CNN town hall, claiming she wants to raise the retirement age and that life expectancy is declining in the U.S.
Haley has clarified that she wants to raise the retirement age for younger people entering the system, not for all demographics.
DeSantis' claim about declining life expectancy is misleading; life expectancy dropped during the COVID-19 pandemic but began to rebound in 2022.
Haley's campaign has accused DeSantis of hypocrisy, pointing out that he previously advocated for raising the retirement age due to increasing life expectancy.
The dispute over Social Security is the latest issue in the ongoing rivalry between DeSantis and Haley, who are both potential 2024 presidential candidates.
