In Politico, TRP’s Jason Rosenstock Weighs In on Ex-Im Negotiations

In today's edition of Politico Morning Money, Thorn Run's Jason Rosenstock weighs in on this week's congressional negotiations over the future of the Export Import bank.  While some Republicans have opposed extension of the Ex-Im bank—arguing that such financing could be facilitated by the private sector—many House Democrats have emphasized demands for a longer extension than the June 2015 date including in the draft CR released last week.  Rosenstock notes that "House leadership trying to balance the conservative elements of their party, some of whom have already come half-way on a short term extension, with the hardline position of House Democrats who realize that this may be their best opportunity to secure a multi-year extension of the bank.”

FIRST LOOK: EX-IM BATTLE PREVIEW — From Thorn Run Partners’ Jason Rosenstock’s morning note: “With Minority Whip Hoyer and Financial Services Committee Ranking Member opposing the short term extension that is currently included in the Continuing Resolution, it is unclear whether the Republican leadership will be able move the CR without Democratic votes. 

“This coming week should be interesting political theater with House leadership trying to balance the conservative elements of their party, some of whom have already come half-way on a short term extension, with the hardline position of House Democrats who realize that this may be their best opportunity to secure a multi-year extension of the bank.”
