WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Rep. Paul Ryan predicts there will be enough votes in the House to pass “fast track” trade authority.

“We will have the votes,” Ryan, the Wisconsin Republican who leads the House Ways and Means Committee, said Sunday. “We’re gaining a lot of steam and momentum,” he said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” As the Hill writes, the Senate is expected to vote on the agreement soon. Republican leaders in the House, meanwhile, have struggled to get the votes needed to pass the fast-track legislation, which would speed trade agreements through Congress. The authority allows lawmakers an up-or-down vote on trade deals, but not the ability to amend them. The legislation is a priority of both Republicans and President Barack Obama. Ryan said “we’re doing very well” at rounding up votes.
