Former President Donald Trump, meanwhile, has invited reporters to his New Jersey golf club for a news conference — his second in as many weeks. Trump is meeting the press as he steps up his criticism of Harris for not holding a news conference or sitting down for interviews since President Joe Biden ended his reelection campaign and endorsed her to replace him. Trump’s campaign, meanwhile, announced it was adding to its staff. The new additions include Corey Lewandowski, Trump’s first campaign manager during his 2016 campaign.
Vice President Kamala Harris and Biden held a joint appearance to announce price cuts for popular Medicare drugs. Federal officials have reached deals with drug companies to lower the price for 10 of Medicare’s most popular and costliest drugs. The drugs include the blood thinners Xarelto and Eliquis and diabetes drugs Jardiance and Januvia. Medicare spent $50 billion covering the drugs last year. It’s a landmark deal for the Medicare program, which provides health care coverage for more than 67 million older and disabled Americans.
