White House Backs Off Plan to Send Drug Cards Before Election

The White House is backing away from a plan to send $200 prescription drug discount cards to American seniors before Election Day after widespread criticism the effort could violate election laws.

“I don’t anticipate that anything gets there before Election Day,” Chief of Staff Mark Meadows told reporters Wednesday. “I think that was a concern that there might have been a look that this was done for a political motivation. That’s not the case.”
