A plan for a national paid family leave initiative spearheaded by first daughter and adviser to the president Ivanka Trump has started to gain traction, after a Senate committee hearing addressed the issue on July 11.

More and more senators have been working on bringing the idea to fruition, egged on by Trump, who has been working with both sides of the aisle to help build support for the plan.
