As was widely expected after last week‘s vote, the Senate has now voted in favor of fast track for trade agreements (officially „Trade Promotion Authority“) after Republican Senators convinced enough of their Democratic counterparts to give up their Constitutional authority in regulating international commerce (yes, you read that right: Republicans who keep complaining about the President taking too much power and not obeying the Constitution, just voted explicitly to give up Constitutional authority to the President of the other party, while most Democrats declined to do so).
