He continued, "Do Republicans have a plan? Actually, Republicans have had a plan for 20 years, and that plan is basically those people who are on Social Security are grandfathered in. People who are 55 to 65 are grandfathered in when they turn 65. But everybody else, unfortunately, they're gonna have to see the age increase - that is, to 70. Used to be they said 67, but now that has to be around 70. And that's how you fix it without screwing the people who've been paying into it and are about to get Social Security or who are on Social Security."
This comes after two GOP officials Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) and Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) agreed during separate interviews the retirement age should be raised.
