From the article:
The vote was 60 to 37, passing by the slimmest margin needed to pass.
A final Senate vote on fast-track could come as soon as later Tuesday, and it will then head to President Barack Obama’s desk for his signature.
This time around, one fewer Republican voted as Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who penned op-ed in opposition to the legislation that published Tuesday morning.
“... TPA in this Congress has become enmeshed in corrupt Washington backroom deal-making, along with serious concerns that it would open up the potential for sweeping changes in our laws that trade agreements typically do not include,” Cruz wrote on Breitbart.
Republican Sen. Mike Enzi of Wyoming, who was absent during the first version of the bill, voted in favor making up for the loss.
Gee thanks, Ted...you could have helped drive a stake through this thing's heart the first time around, but instead you didn't, and actually gave House GOP'ers cover.
Nice going.
“...TPA in this Congress has become enmeshed in corrupt Washington backroom deal-making..”
That’s always what it was destined for. I knew that back when Cruz voted for it the first time. For it before he was against it.
