The White House is trying to charm Democrats on the replacement deal for NAFTA
The White House is engineering an unusually by-the-book approach for selling Congress on the replacement deal for NAFTA — with the hope of persuading Speaker Nancy Pelosi to hold a vote for the new trade agreement.
In recent weeks, senior officials from the White House and the U.S. Trade Representative’s office have met with Ways and Means Committee members, the House GOP whip team, the Problem Solvers caucus, the Tuesday Group, the Hispanic Caucus and the Blue Dogs. Administration officials are planning to soon meet with the New Democrats, who are widely seen as a key coalition that will ultimately deliver Democratic votes for the deal.
