The Senate voted Thursday to end debate and proceed to a vote on the Trade Promotion Authority bill and several amendments.
The Senate leadership expects to vote on the bill yet Friday or in a possible weekend session.
The vote to end debate was 62-38 and required significant deal making by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to get the votes. He promised a vote next month on the Export-Import Bank. Boeing’s CEO also pushed Washington State’s Democrat Senators Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray to vote for TPA, with an eye towards eventually getting sales deals from a Trans-Pacific Partnership trade treaty with Asian countries.
