Statement

Date: May 12, 2015
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Trade

Nevada Senator Harry Reid released the following statement today after the failed Senate vote (52-45) to bring up debate on fast-track legislation:

"The simple fact is that to pass the Senate, bills must have strong Democratic support. Nearly every bill passed by the Senate this year has enjoyed the support of over ninety percent of Senate Democrats.

"Senator McConnell needs to work with Democrats for our votes. I hope he will reconsider his approach."
