JEAN-PIERRE: "Because a lot of Donald Trump's rhetoric will bump against what Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan have listed, that long list of policy ideas that they've had for —very far-right ideas that they've had for many, many years, because if we look at, in particular, Medicare and also Social Security, Donald Trump has said during the campaign, 'I don't want to touch those.' But that's pretty much on the list for McConnell and Paul Ryan. So we'll see how that goes, but I think at the end of the day, Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan will certainly trump Trump's fake populism that he played during the 18 months of his campaign."
