With the possible exception of Chris Hayes on MSNBC, there is no one who actually opposes the USMCA trade treaty. Everyone agrees that replacing NAFTA with USMCA will improve economic conditions for US citizens and businesses and will help Canada and Mexico economically as well. It's the proverbial win-win situation. There are a few who want to add a provision or two to the treaty -- mostly labor unions. Even the unions don't oppose the treaty however.
The USMCA treaty has been waiting a vote in the House for about six months now. Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats won't bring it up for a vote, though, because doing so would give President Trump a "victory". For the Democrats, denying Trump a success is more important than helping the American people. Pelosi promised that there would be a vote in 2019, but that is rapidly becoming a broken promise. Instead, everything is impeachment, impeachment and more impeachment.
If there were ever a need for a good reason NOT to support the Democrats, this is it. It is a dereliction of duty for these politicians to put their party ahead of the welfare of the American people.
