A group of battleground House Dems today staged a dramatic show of support for Trump's NAFTA update at a special caucus meeting on the issue, upping pressure on Nancy Pelosi in the final stretch of negotiations

A group of battleground House Democrats on Thursday staged a dramatic show of support for President Donald Trump's NAFTA update at a special caucus meeting on the issue, upping pressure on Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the final stretch of negotiations.

Members who attended the meeting emerged less than confident that the two sides would reach a deal in the next few days, but they stressed that talks are nearing an end and a vote this year is still possible. Rep. Jimmy Gomez , a member of the USMCA working group, acknowledged that some Democrats are becoming increasingly vocal about passing the deal soon, but he cautioned that it’s most important that they get a strongly enforceable deal.

The push during the caucus meeting marks the latest sign of moderate House members growing agitated over the lack of movement to get the deal passed. The 48-member House Problem Solvers Caucus, comprised of an equal number of Democrats and Republicans, issued a statement earlier Thursday calling for a “timely vote” on the deal.
