Vulnerable House Democrats are frustrated that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has pushed a Senate vote on the new North American trade pact to next year
Vulnerable House Democrats say they are frustrated that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has pushed a Senate vote on the new North American trade pact to next year.
The letter was also signed by Reps. Anthony Brindisi of New York, Abby Finkenauer of Iowa, Susan Wild of Pennsylvania, Joe Cunningham of South Carolina, Kendra Horn of Oklahoma and Angie Craig of Minnesota. McConnell said it was too late to consider the USMCA implementing bill because the House has to take it up first. However, under the trade promotion authority law, the House and Senate can consider the deal at the same time.
Some were vocal in expressing their frustration at the pace of negotiations between House Democrats and the Trump administration in getting a compromise that addressed Democrats’ concerns. Democrats pushed for changes to the deal’s provisions on enforcement, labor and environmental standards, as well as drug pricing.
