On Foreign Policy: China doesn't get to dictate which US officials go to Taiwan

We need to be very clear that China doesn't get to dictate which U.S. officials go to Taiwan. We send congressional delegations frequently. A former speaker of the House has been to Taiwan in the past. What President Xi decided to do was manufacture a crisis over Pelosi's visit. This is saber-rattling and chest-bumping by President Xi.

On Health Care: Finally got Medicare the power to negotiate drug prices

The centerpiece of this bill was finally giving Medicare the power to negotiate drug prices and that will reduce drug prices for seniors in addition to the fact that we have a cap of $2,000 in out-of-pocket costs. I just want to stress the fact that since I've been here in the Congress, including my time in the House, we've been trying to get Medicare the power to negotiate drug prices. It looks like we're finally there.
