The narrative today is the DEMs and the unions were responsible for the passage of USMCA in spite of Trump. So glad the MSM is there to set the record straight. /s

yes he did ... AND he said the unions were demanding MAJOR MAJOR rewrites of the deal before they would support it, and it wouldn’t pass without the unions being allowed (in effect) to rewrite it to their satisfaction ...

Why is Nancy blocking it?

The House passed it last night, 382-41, with 2 pubbies and Justin Amash voting against it.

Kudlow says this will increase our gdp by about half a point and increase employment by 175-300 thousand.

If they are anywhere close to accurate, even the illegals will vote for Trump:)
