Following former President Donald Trump's comments on CNBC's Squawk Box regarding the potential for cutting entitlement programs, President Joe Biden's campaign released a new advertisement targeting Trump's stance. Trump suggested that "There is a lot you can do in terms of entitlements in terms of cutting," specifically mentioning cutting as a viable option and citing "bad management" as a concern.

Trump's campaign later sought to clarify his remarks, amid criticisms and confusion over his position on entitlement cuts, which he had previously promised not to pursue.
