Biden adviser working to pass top Trump initiative

An adviser to Joe Biden is teaming up with GOP operatives to convince Congress to pass President Trump’s United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement, which was negotiated as a replacement for the North America Free Trade Agreement.

According to a Friday report by Politico, John Anzalone, a senior Biden adviser and pollster, has joined Trade Works for America, which was founded by former Republican Party officials in February. The group’s war chest of over $10 million is funded by a variety of industries, including pharmaceutical and automotive companies, with the aim of making sure the new trade deal is ratified by Congress this year.
