On Tuesday, ABC’s World News Tonight and the CBS Evening News chose to ignore news that Senate Democrats voted to block debate on a series of trade measures pushed by President Barack Obama as part of a push to eventually approve the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal.
Earlier in the day, the Senate failed to reach 60 votes with a 52-45 margin that killed debate on a series of trade measures with only one Democratic Senator in Tom Carper (Del.) voting with Senate Republicans in an attempt to push the deal forward. Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) joined with Senate Democrats to preserve the chance that it could be brought up again.
