U.S. Chamber of Commerce (USCC) president and CEO Suzanne Clark told Axios in an interview that the business group was right to endorse nearly two dozen House Democrats this past year, despite reports that the move has put a strain on the organization’s relationship with Republicans.
Clark, who took over as head of the USCC in March, said the group ignores party affiliation when seeking to build coalitions with lawmakers on priority issues. She said the endorsed House Democrats “really helped push business’s number one priority, which was the free trade agreement with Canada and Mexico, over the finish line,” according to Axios.
