From CNN's Dana Bash and Deirdre Walsh


Rep. Xavier Becerra is not interested in the job of U.S. Trade Representative.
WASHINGTON (CNN) — An aide to Rep. Xavier Becerra and a Democratic leadership aide both say a key reason he turned down the job of U.S. Trade Representative is because trade is simply not a top priority for the country right now, and Becerra felt that he would be better off staying in the House where he can deal with a broader range of issues such as health care and immigration.
