WASHINGTON, D.C. — The House of Representatives on Thursday passed President Donald Trump’s revised North American Free Trade Agreement, with members sending Trump’s foremost legislative priority — just a day after the divided chamber took the historic vote to impeach him — to the Senate.

The legislation passed with a bipartisan show of support — with a vote of 385 to 41 — winning over even the most ardent trade skeptics like Democratic Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut, who was involved in negotiations with the White House and formally endorsed it on Thursday morning. Trump’s trade deal moves one step closer to ratification after more than a year of negotiations between his administration and House Democrats.

The Republican-controlled Senate is expected to vote on the agreement in early 2020, only after Trump’s impeachment trial concludes.
