US Senator Ted Cruz to announce presidential bid: report

by AFP March 22, 2015 (updated) Washington,United States United States Senator and Tea Party favorite Ted Cruz is expected Monday to confirm plans to run for president in 2016, the Houston Chronicle reported Saturday.

The Texas Republican will announce his presidential bid as opposed to forming a preliminary exploratory committee at a convocation ceremony at Liberty University in Virginia, according to senior advisors speaking to the newspaper.

Cruz, 44, will be the first Republican to officially confirm plans to run in the next presidential election, though others, including Jeb Bush, have signaled they could join the race.

The advisors told the newspaper that Cruz will aim to raise between $40 million and $50 million for his campaign, and will rely on support from his Tea Party base that voted him in as senator in 2012.

The grassroots Tea Party favorite will run as a proud conservative and is eager to court voters that share his values, the advisors said.

At the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) last month, Cruz told the crowd that 2016 looks like its going to be a crowded race.

Liberal Democrats align with Tea Party against Obama's trade agenda

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 (Xinhua) -- A coalition of liberal Democrats and Tea Party Republicans is fighting against U.S. President Barack Obama's ambitious trade agenda that he hopes to secure before he leaves office, U.S. media reported.

The extreme left and right align in pushing back on trade just as Obama and Republican leaders have joined together to secure the so-called trade promotion authority (TPA) before the Obama administration concludes major trade agreements with 11 other Asia-Pacific countries, New York Times reported.

The TPA empowers the president to negotiate trade deals and then present them to Congress for votes, with no amendments allowed. Without such authority, many trade analysts say, Obama's hopes to enact trade deals before he leaves office will be doomed.

But Tea party and other conservatives oppose granting Obama that authority, arguing it would cede Congress's constitutional authority over trade to a president they don't trust.

"After President Obama's power grabs over the past three or four years, people have come to the conclusion you should not be giving this president any additional authority," Rick Manning, president of Americans for Limited Government, a Tea Party-aligned advocacy group, was quoted as saying by New York Times.

"To do so really is a betrayal to the people who elected this Republican Congress," said Manning.

The TPA is also a tough nut within his own party for the president, as liberal Democrats and activists from labor unions have concerns that trade deals have hurt U.S. workers and increased income inequality.

"I've always been suspect in my entire career in Congress of these trade agreements. I don't support fast track," Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid told reporters last month.

"I have not been shown that these trade agreements have helped the middle class," said Reid.

What's worse, a group of bipartisan lawmakers have called for the U.S. to introduce binding currency provisions into trade agreements currently under negotiation by the Obama administration including the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which is close to completion.
