Despite Congress devoting about 90 percent of its energy to President Trump’s impeachment, they actually did get some other business done. The Senate passed the USMCA trade agreement and sent it to Trump for his signature. There’d be more coverage if it didn’t interfere with the impeachment party and Rachel Maddow’s Lev Parnas nonsense and if it weren’t frankly a big win for the president.
BREAKING: The Senate just passed the USMCA. Next stop: @POTUS’s desk for his signature.
I’m grateful to the President for prioritizing this deal and delivering on this major promise. It’s a big win for Kentucky and for American families in all 50 states. pic.twitter.com/vgabr9QxDN

Great to hear the U.S. Senate passed the #USCMA today. This trade deal is vital to the future of Iowa farmers, businesses & families. Whether it’s value-added agriculture, manufacturing, or the financial sector, it’s clear the USMCA is a win-win for Iowans.

Nobody makes trade deals like @realDonaldTrump. #USCMA: 176,000 jobs, $68.2 billion to the U.S. economy, and wage growth
Phase One trade deal with China: an additional $200 BILLION in US goods purchased
American farmers and manufacturers are winning again!

Sen. Chuck Schumer voted no on the trade deal, and he explained in a statement that it had everything to do with the agreement not being some sort of climate change treaty.
Despite the improvements Democrats secured to better protect workers:
I am voting against USMCA.
Because it doesn't address climate change, the greatest threat facing our planet. pic.twitter.com/WxyRpcH2pZ

As long as the Democrats want to campaign on climate change rather than jobs and the economy, we’re not going to stop them.
Wouldn't have guessed Schumer would be a no vote on USMCA.
Gillibrand too. https://t.co/CbDrTjRqey

Schumer running scared of @AOC.

They all are.
I like how the Democrats find ways of not voting for what they say they support by using other platforms they support.

The all-purpose excuse. I'm not eating these brussel sprouts because doing so does nothing to address climate change.

Just another excuse to work against our President! What are you going to do next to divide people! You need to be voted out! You are a tired old man

USMCA will create almost 200 thousand new jobs. Democrats would rather see America lose than give trump a win sad. We must vote out all Democrats next election

Schumer just put the Climate Change Conspiracy before the American workers. This tells you everything you need to know about Chuck and his band of anti-American Democrats.

Ok, no one cares Chuck. I vote against you every time and it means nothing. It will pass, so welcome to the club of “Your vote means nothing”

Never thought I'd see the day Chuck Schumer voted to the left of Elizabeth Warren

It's the president's USMCA and it will pass without you, Cryin' Chuck.
