This agreement, which will replace NAFTA, had been delayed for a year over Democrat political concerns and labor union opposition.\nLaMalfa said:Despite a year of partisan delays, today's news of a final agreement on USMCA is great for America and our citizens. This trade deal will will open new markets for our farmers and protect America manufacturing. It sets a new standard for digital and intellectual property that should be the model of all agreements moving forward. I'm happy to see this deal finally come up for a vote after a year. It is a credit to President Trump and his negotiating team to have won support for such a far reaching reform of an outdated trade deal. I hope we can pass this rather than focusing on the sideshow of impeachment.\nCongressman Doug LaMalfa is a lifelong farmer representing California's First Congressional District, including Butte, Glenn, Lassen, Modoc, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Shasta, Sierra, Siskiyou and Tehama Counties.\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://lamalfa.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/lamalfa-praises-usmca-deal"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.3222559355199337, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
