Part 3/7:
Trump expressed his confidence in passing a significant legislative package, despite a slim majority in Congress. He praised Republican leaders, particularly Johnson and Thune, for their dedication and hard work. The President emphasized the necessity of lowering prescription drug costs as a central tenet of the bill, asserting that proposed cuts could reach between 50% and 90%, creating an unprecedented opportunity for bipartisan support. He believes that the potential for drastic reductions in drug prices will compel Democrats to align with the bill, particularly as the current prices often leave Americans bankrupt while drugs in other countries are sold at a fraction of the cost.
