A 60-37 vote on Tuesday by the Senate sets Trade Promotion Authority up for final passage today. If approved, the stand alone Trade Promotion Authority bill would then be sent to the President’s desk to become law. The Hill reports 13 democrats joined republicans in the vote, even though the standalone bill does not include Trade Adjustment Assistance. TAA was packaged with TPA when it first passed the Senate nearly a month ago, but the House failed to pass TAA. House Speaker John Boehner promised a House vote on TAA as soon as it clears the Senate.
