Washington's stimulus failure

After months of back and forth on a new stimulus bill, it's now even less likely one will pass before the election. Plus, some not-bad news about our economic recovery. And, on the road with the Biden campaign. Guests: Axios' Alayna Treene, Felix Salmon and Hans Nichols. Credits: "Axios Today" is produced in partnership with Pushkin Industries. The team includes Niala Boodhoo, Carol Alderman, Cara Shillenn, Nuria Marquez Martinez, Sara Kehaulani Goo, Alex Sugiura and Naomi Shavin. Music is composed by Evan Viola.
