NANCY PELOSI ANNOUNCES THAT DEMS FINALLY SUPPORT TRUMP’S USMCA TRADE AGREEMENT WITH CANADA AND MEXICO
by Kevin Ryan
Amidst falling support for impeachment in the rust belt, and rising poll numbers for President Tump in those states, Democrats today announced they’ve reached an agreement on President Trump’s USMCA free trade deal with Mexico and Canada.
‘’There’s no question that this trade deal is much better than NAFTA,” Pelosi said during a press conference to announce their support this morning, more than a year after the Trump administration brokered a deal with Canada and Mexico on the agreement.
Going a step further, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared to take credit for the deal, which was one of President Trump’s signature campaign promises. “It is infinitely better than what was initially proposed by the administration,” she said, referencing changes made to the agreement in several areas including the environment.
Richard Neal (D-MA), Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, expressed surprise that they were in a position to reach a deal.
“Every once in a great while you get to participate in a ‘it will never happen’ moment, and we are witnessing that today,” Neal said.
Pelosi credited the “brilliance” of AFLCIO president Richard Trumka in the negotiations. Unions have shown frustration with the Democrats seemingly ignoring other issues as they pursue investigation and impeachment.
Indeed the Democratic leadership has been feeling the heat from voters in states that used to be part of their base. Polls earlier this year from Republican pollster Firehouse Strategies had President Trump struggling in the mega-battlegrounds of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — but in the newest edition, he beats every Democrat. And Marquette’s latest poll now has Trump ahead of every Democratic candidate in Wisconsin.
And the Washington Post reports that a dozen recent polls on impeachment in battleground rust belt states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, as well as Arizona, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, showed significant opposition to impeachment, averaging of 44% support vs. 51% opposition.
Firehouse partner Alex Conant tells Axios: “Democrats racing towards impeachment are at serious risk of leaving behind the voters they need to retake the White House next year.”
It’s a concern that hasn’t been lost on Democrats, who announced their support for the USMCA less than an hour after announcing two articles of impeachment against President Trump.
The USMCA is intended to replace NAFTA by updating the 1990s era free trade agreement with one that addresses the concerns of its opponents, who say NAFTA harmed U.S. manufacturing to the benefit of Mexico. Most of the major changes to the free trade pact embodied in the new United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) favor the U.S.
