Republicans increasingly fear Donald Trump is missing valuable opportunities to build a winning case against Hillary Clinton, compounding their concerns about his campaign's day-to-day decision making and seeming lack of preparedness for the general election.

Senate leaders plan to debate Puerto Rico debt legislation next week, but it's unclear whether the measure will be sent to President Barack Obama before the island's next debt payment deadline on July 1.

President Barack Obama, his vice president and defense secretary took aim on Monday at policies of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump they said would alienate Muslims globally along with U.S. allies and neighbors.
