The Hill reported.<\/a><\/p>\nThe White House concessions are coming to get House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, the labor union leader, on board for it to get approval in the House.<\/p>\n
“I just hope he hasn’t gone too far in Speaker Pelosi’s direction, and the AFL-CIO’s direction, that he might lose some support here,” Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, told The Hill of the Republican-controlled Senate. “My concern is that what the administration presented has now been moved demonstrably to Democrats, the direction that they wanted.”<\/p>\n
The Senate will get a briefing after the negotiations with the White House and Democrats conclude, perhaps this week, according to the report.<\/p>\n
“I mean if they got the unions, my assumption is that there are going to be a lot of things that were changed from the last time we’ve seen anything on this,” Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., told The Hill.<\/p>\n
“So yeah, I think there’s a potential that you could have in their . . . desire to try to satisfy Democrats in the House, labor unions cost you some Republican support depending on what those changes are,” Thune reportedly added.<\/p>\n
Thune feared the Senate GOP has ostensibly been cut out of the negotiation process as the White House works with Democrats.<\/p>\n
“I do think that the play has been for the past several weeks between the House Democrats and the White House,” Thune said.<\/p>\n
“Some of the things that we’re hearing would be, yeah, would be I think problematic.”<\/p>\n
Markup of the USMCA might mean it will not be passed until after the holidays, Thune reportedly feared.<\/p>\n
