WH in-town pool report #13/ POTUS takes questions

POTUS went around the room, asking retired wrestler Stephanie McMahon, her mother Linda McMahon and others to speak about pediatric cancer. Robert Kennedy Jr said the administration will study the causes of an increase in childhood cancer.

POTUS talked about lowering drug prices, including one coming up that will be “1,000% reduction” in price.

Questions began at 4.23pm. POTUS blamed Democrats for a potential government shutdown and said: “We’ll be laying off a lot of people.”

Questions ongoing.
