On Capitol Hill, Democratic leaders are pushing the Senate to pass new legislation on healthcare, taxes and the climate crisis before senators leave for their summer recess on Friday.

All eyes are now on Arizona Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema, who has yet to announce whether she’ll support the legislation.
