The Hill reports:
After three years of saying that Social Security and Medicare must be phased out, the Republican nominee to replace former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) has reversed course.
Jesse Kelly, who won a four-way GOP special primary in April, has updated his campaign website to say that entitlement programs for seniors must be protected.
“I support preserving, protecting and strengthening Social Security and Medicare,” Kelly wrote on the website. “I do not support privatizing, eliminating or phasing out these programs in any way.”
