Republicans and Obama Back TPP in Unlikely Alliance
In a rare convergence, many Republican presidential hopefuls support the Trade Promotion Authority TPA and backing the Trans Pacific Partnership while some attack Hillary Clinton for opposing the president. The two stage process requires TPA passage then a final up or down vote on the negotiated pact. The Senate approved TPA 62 to 37 on May 22. the House vote remains uncertain amid Democratic opposition and conservative skepticism. The issue draws cross party and cross ideology tension in the White House race.
