Speaker Pelosi is working to ease anxiety among battleground freshmen, which has intensified amid fears that impeachment could creep into 2020 and make many of them one-term members
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her top deputies are working to ease long-simmering anxiety among battleground freshmen, which has intensified amid fears that impeachment could creep into 2020 and makePelosi will bring in AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka on Tuesday to speak with freshmen Democrats, many of whom have been privately demanding quicker action on President Donald Trump’s trade deal, according to multiple people familiar with the meeting.
“If labor would say that they were accepting of the agreements that we’ve been pushing in the working group, you could certainly speed it up,” said House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal , who has been leading the trade negotiations. “But at the same time, you’ve got to make sure that we’ve got a broad, broad alliance of labor. Rich Trumka is really important to this.”
“I think it’s neither,” said a senior Democratic aide. “It’s understanding where each other is coming from.” A deal on trade talks that trickled along for months was suddenly “imminent,” Pelosi declared last week. A key Democratic chairman presented plans for a massive infrastructure package at a caucus-wide meeting. A months-long attempt by farm-state Democrats to revive the Export-Import Bank finally reached the floor.
