The Trans-Pacific Partnership has little chance of coming to a vote in a lame-duck session of Congress — and likely wouldn’t garner enough support to pass anyway, according to House Ways & Means Committee Ranking Member Sandy Levin (D-MI).

“It is now increasingly clear that the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement will not receive a vote in Congress this year, including in any lame duck session, and if it did, it would fail,” Levin said in a July 25 statement at the start of this week’s Democratic National Convention.
With TPP essentially dead, in Levin’s view, voters should turn their attention to deciding which presidential candidate – Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump – would deliver a trade agenda most beneficial to the majority of Americans.
