You're right there.
He's out there working.
He wants to see that young woman win.
And the attorney general, who I endorsed, et cetera, et cetera.
Glenn Youngkin.
Thank you very much, Glenn.
Thank you for being here.
For many years, Americans have paid the highest prices anywhere in the world for prescription drugs, by far, by far.
Many times the amount that other countries are paying is ridiculous.
Upon taking office, I signed an executive order to make sure that Americans pay no more for prescription medications than the lowest prices for the same drug in other locations and developing nations.
Today, AstraZeneca is committing to offer all of their prescription medications to Medicaid at most favored nations prices.
In other words, the lowest price anywhere in the world.
That's what we get.
A move that will save American taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars each year.
And I tell the story, Glenn, that in my first term, I had the honor of being the first president in 28 years to lower drug prices during the course of the year.
And we actually did.
And I was so proud of myself.
We called a news conference.
I announced it.
It was one eighth of one percent.
