What I think people are saying is, a lot of people are saying, am I going to pick some very, very prominent and well-known progressive who sits in the House or the Senate right now? As close as everything is in terms of the House and the Senate, they are tough decisions to make. To pull somebody I'm going to badly need out of the Senate and we now don't re-elect or have an appointment of somebody who is a Democrat.

To end this theft, I signed a Presidential Memorandum stopping illegal aliens and other ineligible individuals from obtaining Social Security Act benefits—and we are deporting illegal aliens who steal from our country.
You are nearly 70% more likely to get this disease and 2 to 4 times more likely to die from it.
These benefits belong to the American citizens who earned them through decades of honest labor, and my Administration will never allow criminal illegal aliens and fraudsters to raid a system they never paid into.
As President, I will always defend Social Security, protect America’s seniors, and invest in the dedicated workers who form the backbone of our Republic.
