McConnell Says Senate USMCA Vote Will Come This Week

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters Jan. 14 that the Senate will hold a ratification vote on the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement this week.

"We are, it looks like, going to be able to process the USMCA here in the Senate this week,” he said at a press conference at the Capitol. "That'll be good news for the Senate, and for the country, and something I think we have broad bipartisan agreement on."

The fast-track procedures limit debate to 20 hours, but not all that time is required before a vote.
