W.H. Spox on Opioid Bill: ‘I Certainly Cannot Promise that the President Would Sign It’

‘But hopefully, Republicans in Congress will listen to the calls from Democrats and Republicans alike who are asking for more resources to deal with this significant emergency’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
"So we'll see what gets passed out of conference. But if there is a bill that reaches the president's desk that is geared toward fighting the opioid epidemic but doesn't include any funding, I certainly cannot promise that the president would sign it. So we'll see what they do. But hopefully, Republicans in Congress will listen to the calls from Democrats and Republicans alike who are asking for more resources to deal with this significant emergency."
