Incoming White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus last Sunday said he doesn't think Trump wants to "meddle" with Medicare or Social Security.

"He made a promise in the campaign that that was something that he didn't want to do," Priebus said on CBS's "Face The Nation."

The president-elect does plan to grow the economy and help "shore up Medicare and Social Security for future generations," Priebus added.

Sanders has recently called on Trump to veto any cuts to the programs.
