Welcome to the News Hour. President Trump's massive domestic policy bill overcame a major hurdle today.

how much money would go to rural health care. That helped Murkowski. Also, notably, out was

a new tax on solar and wind. That was going to hurt those industries, and that is out of the bill.

But I found out also in the last
