President Trump has not made a final decision. But he is under pressure to address the cost of health care, which for many Americans will jump if the subsidies expire.
In an unusual move, Xi Jinping, the leader of China, called President Trump. The two spoke about trade, Taiwan and Ukraine, according to separate official statements.
The move sets up a possible rematch between Mr. Jones, the last Democrat to win statewide office in Alabama, and Tommy Tuberville, the Republican who ousted him from the Senate in 2020.
