Trump Says Drug Prices Alone Should Win Midterms

President Trump believes one issue should seal the midterms for the GOP: lower prescription drug prices. He calls it a huge win that stands on its own. But the reality on the ground tells a different story.

According to the Washington Times, Trump insists his success in negotiating lower drug costs is so massive that it should secure victory alone. Yet, while he touts this policy win, the campaign is focused on something else entirely. The gap between the promise of a single issue and the work of getting voters out is where this story lives.

While the drug price claim makes headlines, the actual work is happening at the ground level. According to Breitbart, President Trump is and has been hosting rallies in battleground states and districts from coast to coast. This is not just talk. It is a full-scale tour. The White House knows that a policy win on paper means nothing if the people do not show up.

On Monday, Steven Cheung, the White House communications director, told Breitbart News exclusively: "It is incredible to see President Trump criss cross the country working tirelessly to help elect Republicans." He stated this effort positions them far better to defeat the Dumocrats and their radical leftist agenda.

The math is simple but hard. Breitbart reports that Republicans must mobilize their voters to have a chance. A great policy does not vote for itself. People must go to the polls. The border situation also plays a role in this equation. The New York Post says that for 17 months, there has been almost no illegal border crossing at all. This record is part of the broader message, but it still requires a voter to cast a ballot.

Trump knows that his name carries weight. He has been doing this from Day One. According to Breitbart, Cheung said nobody should doubt the power of his endorsement. This is not a new strategy. It is a proven one. The president lives by the words he wrote in "The Art of the Comeback": "Never quit and always hit back."
