In the U.S., these policy changes and improvements helped secure overwhelming bipartisan support in Congress; while NAFTA passed in the Senate with only 61-38 votes, USMCA gained much greater support with a margin of 89-10 votes. Similarly, in the House of Representatives, USMCA received 385-41 votes compared to a more divided House vote for NAFTA of 234-200. This presents an opportunity for a widely supported and bipartisan trade policy.
