WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar said he expected 25 to 30 fellow Democrats to approve Trade Promotion Authority, or “fast track,” in a vote Friday in the House of Representatives.
“My guess has always been, I said this a month ago, that we’ll be between 25 and 30,” he said Thursday when asked how many Democrats would support the fast-track authority that would clear the way for a sweeping Pacific rim trade deal.
