Senate Democrats on Wednesday called for the president's pick for Social Security chief to have his nomination rescinded amid what lawmakers and experts say will be deep cuts to the program via DOGE.
Senate Democrats have urged former President Donald Trump to withdraw his nomination of Martin O'Malley for the position of Social Security Commissioner, citing allegations that O'Malley's nominee for deputy commissioner, Andrew Bisignano, provided false information during his confirmation hearings. According to the article, Bisignano, who previously served as a senior adviser to O'Malley when he was mayor of Baltimore, allegedly misrepresented his involvement in a controversial city contract that led to a federal investigation. Democrats argue that Bisignano's misleading statements to Congress about his role in this scandal disqualify him from the high-level position at the Social Security Administration, which oversees benefits for millions of Americans. They are pressing for a nominee who has not only the requisite experience but also unquestionable integrity.
