THE HILL: Club for Growth warns GOP against vote on China currency.
The Club for Growth has warned Republicans against signing a petition to force a vote on China currency legislation.
The well-funded conservative group has said it will score as a “key vote” any signatures to a discharge petition to force a House vote on legislation meant to punish China for manipulating its currency to lower the price of its exports to the U.S.
The Senate moved forward on China currency legislation this week in a bipartisan vote, and a similar measure was approved by the House last year, with 99 Republicans voting yes.
Mr. Hawley, meet Mr. Smoot.
