Sen. Chuck Grassley, the Senate finance committee chairman, rebutted Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's claim that President Donald Trump "Hasn't lowered drug cost for anybody."
"Last night, former Vice President Biden said that President Trump 'hasn't lowered drug costs for anybody.' This is false," he said during a Senate floor speech on Wednesday.
Grassley, who is one of the leading figures in the Senate's efforts to lower the drug prices, said Trump has taken several actions to reduce prices.
During the first presidential debate on Tuesday night, Trump listed the efforts of his administration in reducing drug prices, including cutting the price of insulin, allowing governors to buy drugs from other countries, and going after big pharma companies.
During the debate, both candidates sharply attacked one another, with Trump attempting to tie Biden to the "Radical left" wing of his party and frequently noting that the former vice president is an unsuccessful career politician.
Biden attacked Trump's handling of the CCP virus pandemic and said Trump should "Get out of your bunker and get out of the sand trap and go your golf course to the Oval Office" to come up with a bipartisan plan to save people.
Biden also claimed Trump added fuel to the tense racial relation the nation is facing while Trump insisted on law and order critical for the country.
