President Donald Trump spoke at a rally in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, on Friday evening, focusing on affordability and his efforts to reduce costs. He cited recent agreements reached with large drug companies to lower prices and argued that these efforts should secure Republican victories in the midterm elections.

“We’re here tonight to celebrate 11 incredible months. It’s been the most successful first year of any president in the history of our country,” Trump said as he opened his speech.
