TPP is DOA.
It has been demonized by the conservatives, or anti-globalists from both parties, here in US. With PA/WI/MI being the king maker in past 2 elections in US, I dare any president would go that far to agonize the voters in those states, even though it might be strategically right choice to stabilize US's influence in Asia.
- nemo44x 6y agoThat a great point about WI/PA/MI - NAFTA was not great for that region in particular. I do wonder if there’s enough of a bi-partisan coalition (east coast wealthy liberals, west coast states that would benefit, Texas conservatives, etc) to push it. But you’re right that both sides see those states as strategically important and it’s doubtful Biden would want to approve it since that could be poison next election.
- j8hn 6y agoHas it been demonized the by conservatives? This is from the 2015 session where TPP fast track was debated. The average Republican member received $19,673.28 from corporate TPP supporters. The average Democrat received $9,689.23 from those same donors.
