In the span of 90 minutes, Speaker Nancy Pelosi helped deliver a historic trade agreement backed by President Trump even as the House unveiled a pair of impeachment articles against him.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of Calif., speaks at a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2019, on Capitol Hill in Washington.
This time, too, Pelosi gave the president something he could see as validating — the House’s version of his U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, updating the original North American Free Trade Agreement. Meanwhile, she delivered the smackdown of the charges, putting Trump on track to become only the third impeached president in history.
Yet there is much about Tuesday’s developments that hasn’t gone Pelosi’s way. Until the Ukraine scandal broke at the end of the summer, Pelosi insisted there would be no impeachment without bipartisan public support. Rep. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, one of the freshmen Democrats with national security backgrounds who backed an inquiry into Ukraine, wasn’t saying Tuesday whether she’d take the next step and vote for the articles. But she was thrilled about the trade deal.
