SUMMARY: In Northern Virginia, thousands of voters participated in a rare late June primary for Virginia’s 11th congressional district, left open after Democrat Gerry Connolly’s recent passing. Democrats voted at 17 locations using firehouse primaries, with about 30,000 ballots cast so far. They choose among ten candidates, including Connolly’s endorsed former chief of staff, James Walkinshaw, and state Senator Stella Piekarski. Republicans voted at a single location, selecting from seven candidates aiming to strongly support Donald Trump’s policy agenda. GOP voting ended at 4 p.m., with results expected soon; Democrats vote until 7 p.m., possibly delaying final results until early morning.

Voters in Virginia’s 11th district head to the ballot box for a primary to fill the seat previously held by Gerry Connolly, who died of cancer in May. News4’s Julie Carey reports.

SUMMARY: Senate Republicans are working through the weekend to pass President Trump’s “one big beautiful bill” before his July 4th deadline. The legislation extends Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, cuts Medicaid—potentially causing 11 million to lose coverage—and increases the deficit by an estimated \$2.8 trillion. Senate Majority Leader John Thune expects a key vote soon, though Republicans can only afford to lose three votes. Some GOP members oppose the bill due to its cost and Medicaid cuts. The bill passed the House narrowly in May and will need to clear the House again after Senate approval before reaching Trump’s desk.

President Donald Trump has said he wants the One Big Beautiful Bill on his desk for his signature by July 4. Senate Republicans are working through the weekend to pass the bill, urgently working through key sticking points. Lawmakers are split on the legislation, which cuts Medicaid, adds to the deficit and extends tax cuts.
