Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Tuesday he would not allow the Corker tariff proposal to be brought up as a freestanding bill.

"Due to the historic obstruction by Senate Democrats of the president's nominees, and the goal of passing appropriations bills prior to the end of the fiscal year, the August recess has been canceled", the Kentucky Republican said in a statement. "He is scared to death. that Republicans might lose control over the Senate", Sanders said.

Currently, there are 10 Democrats up for re-election in states that Trump carried in 2016. Republicans have nine on the ballot.

Freedom Partners' James Davis said trade is a "top priority" as the groups "work aggressively to educate policymakers and others".
