Pelosi Not Whipping Votes for Trade Bill

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said it is not her responsibility to help House Republicans pass a controversial piece of trade legislation at the top of President Obama’s priorities, Politico reports.

“Trade has historically been a top priority for Republicans and the current split between Democrats and the White House means it falls on the Republican-controlled House to pass Obama’s request… Pelosi told Boehner he needs to provide at least 200 votes.”
