• Biden will argue that House Republicans plan to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act, raise prescription drug prices, and "increase the deficit."
• The White House released a factsheet highlighting comments from Senators John Thune (R-SD), Rick Scott (R-FL), and Ron Johnson (R-WI) as evidence of Republican plans to cut Social Security and Medicare spending.
