President Trump on Saturday touted that drug prices have fallen under his administration, signaling that it will be a winning issue for Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections.
“Because I have invoked FAVORED NATIONS STATUS FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, DRUG PRICES ARE FALLING AT LEVELS NEVER SEEN BEFORE, 500%, 600%, 700%, and more,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
The president, giving himself praise, told Republicans to remember that “this was done by us, and nobody else.”
“This is a revolution in medicine, the biggest and most important event, EVER,” the president continued. “If this story is properly told, we should win the Midterm Elections in RECORD NUMBERS. I AM THE AFFORDABILITY PRESIDENT. TALK LOUDLY AND PROUDLY!”
The Trump administration has made several deals with drug manufacturers aimed at lowering drug prices. The president made a dealwith Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly to sell their GLP-1 weight loss drugs at discounted prices earlier this month.
Last month, AstraZeneca pledged to keep the price of drugs to Medicaid patients at the same level as the lowest price charged in other countries. Trump said AstraZeneca would list most of its products on the TrumpRx.com website.
