‘It will pass’: House Democrats signal trade bill support

House Democrats are ready to pass a major trade deal between the United States, Canada, and Mexico now that changes have been made, a top Democratic leader said.

“There’s considerable support throughout the Democratic Caucus for this expanded- and improved-upon trade agreement,” Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries, a New York Democrat, said. “It’s my expectation that it will pass on the floor of the House of Representatives with significant bipartisan support.”
