Obama Huddles with Pro-Trade Democrats

President Obama and pro-trade House and Senate Democrats “were planning to huddle Wednesday afternoon at the White House to consider ways to get stalled fast-track legislation through Congress,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“House Republican leaders were considering a floor vote as early as Thursday on a new plan to move a stand-alone trade bill that would give Mr. Obama fast-track trade negotiating authority, the power to send trade deals to Congress for an up-or-down vote, without amendments. Still unclear Wednesday was whether enough Democrats were on board with the plan, especially in the Senate.”
