The Hill’s Whip List: Trade bill picks up momentum

The Hill

The fight over fast-track trade legislation is now focused on the House, with a vote scheduled for Friday.

Senators approved legislation to boost President Obama’s trade powers just ahead of Congress’s Memorial Day recess in a 62-37 vote.

But the White House and GOP House leaders face a close vote, with strong opposition from progressives worried about trade’s effect on American jobs and from conservatives balking at handing Obama more power.

{mosads}A large percentage of House Democrats oppose fast-track or are leaning towards voting no. Republican leaders will need to keep GOP defections to a minimum. Ways and Means Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) has been meeting with conservative lawmakers to sell them on the trade bill.

The Hill will continue to update this list. Please send updates to vneedham@digital-release.thehill.com.

Lucy Feickert, Kate Hardiman, Kelly Kaler, Caroline Kelly, Hanna Krueger, Mike Lillis, Rachel Ravina, Marianna Sotomayor, and Scott Wong contributed.
