It wasn't discussed during the election because SS has never been put on the 'chopping block'.
The claim is a 'CONSPIRACY THEORY' and FEAR-MONGERING disinformation tactic intended to distract Americans from all of Biden's failures, violations of Constitution and Law, scandals, lies, gaffes, theft of TS/SCI documents dating all the way back to his time as a Senator, and more....a claim that had been repeatedly refuted / debunked by the GOP lesdership....and a false accusation against others in attempt to accuse them of what he - BIDEN - attempted to do / said needed to be done when he was a Senator!
This is just like abortion. You guys are lying when you say your ultimate goal is NOT to end the program. Baby steps. Slowly chip away at it. Raise retirement age.
Here is a great example of how you guys can't even keep your stories straight. Here is the Republican leading the charge.
Rick Scott Backtracks On ‘Rescue America’ Plan After Social Security, Medicare Criticism
It’s at least the second time Scott has changed his proposal after insisting it didn’t say what it said.

Scott’s “Rescue America” plan
now says that all federal legislation would sunset every five years “with specific exceptions of Social Security, Medicare, national security, veterans benefits, and other essential services.” It previously included no such exceptions.
So he tried to cut ss but he couldn't get away with it. Same thing happened to George W Bush.
So now Rick Scott's plan doesn't tough SS but that's what I mean by baby steps. Give him this and the next time Republicans control the White House, Senate and House of Reps guess what will happen?
Try to deny it. Why should we believe the party of lies?
“The very idea the senator from Florida wants to put Social Security and Medicare on the chopping block every five years I find to be somewhat outrageous,” President Joe Biden said in Florida last week, continuing months of relentless criticism of Scott’s proposal.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) also tore into Scott’s plan, calling it a “
bad idea” that wasn’t supported by other Republicans. The GOP leader suggested it could give Scott trouble with his own reelection campaign in Florida, a state with many retirees who rely on Social Security and Medicare.
Even Mitch agrees!!!
Republicans had hinted they would seek changes to the popular retirement benefits in their showdown with Biden over the federal budget this year, but new House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and other GOP lawmakers have since said they wouldn’t touch the programs.
One of the original points said all Americans “should pay some income tax.” Since half of American households don’t make enough money to owe federal taxes, Scott was essentially calling for a tax hike on tens of millions of poor and low-income working families.
Scott deleted the poor tax plan within a few months, replacing it with a call for all able-bodied adults to work and not receive welfare. As he has now done with regard to Social Security and Medicare, he
insisted all along that the tax plan didn’t say what it said.
