What they’re saying about President Trump’s opioids plan Monday afternoon, President Trump and the First Lady visited Manchester, New Hampshire, to talk through the ways this Administration is confronting America’s devastating opioid epidemic. The President’s initiative has three pillars: 1) reduce demand and over-prescription, 2) cut off the supply of illicit drugs, and 3) help those already struggling with addiction. In the days since, a number of officials have weighed in on the plan:
– Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI): “The opioid epidemic continues to ravage our communities, and President Trump is right to continue the fight against it.”
– House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) tweeted “.@POTUS’ proposals to combat opioid addiction demonstrate that there is ample opportunity to reach a bipartisan consensus.”
– Gov. Jim Justice (R-WV): “People are dying every day from opioid abuse. I’m encouraged and hopeful that @POTUS’s plans will help us take bigger steps to resolve this scourge on our society.”
