Former Maryland governor Martin OMalley spoke out against a major trade pact sought by President Obama and voiced support for raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour as he appeared Thursday at Harvard University.
OMalley, who has been positioning himself for a Democratic presidential bid, denounced the Trans-Pacific Partnership as a bad trade deal during a speech at Harvard's Institute of Politics in which he outlined his economic priorities for the country.
Chasing cheaper labor abroad will not help us build a stronger economy at home, OMalley said during the address, which was live-streamed over the Internet. O'Malley said the deal would hurt middle-class wages and ship middle-class jobs overseas.

If it's OK with you, that HRC has evolved on issue after issue, then O'Malley's opposition to the TPP shouldn't trouble you.
