The Democratic Party’s 2016 platform will not include opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact. At the party's platform panel in Orlando on Saturday, supporters of Hillary Clinton blocked such an effort, while approving of Sanders’ call for a $15 federally-mandated minimum wage. Sanders has long opposed the TPP and other trade deals, contending that they adversely affect working Americans by eliminating jobs. President Obama supports the TPP and has strongly encouraged his fellow Democrats to back it.
