The House failed to pass the annual agriculture spending bill after 27 Republicans joined all Democrats in opposing the measure, dealing a minor setback to GOP leaders as they seek to pass as many appropriations bills as they can before federal funding is set to lapse this weekend.
The votes in favor of the bill came out as 191-237, falling short of the majority votes needed to pass the lower chamber and be sent to the Senate for consideration. The failed vote sends lawmakers back to the drawing board to craft legislation that can garner enough support from all corners of the GOP conference after a substantial number of members voted against the bill.
“Rep. Valadao’s main concern with the Ag/FDA bill are the drastic, seemingly arbitrary cuts to programs his farmers and producers depend on to feed the nation,” a spokesperson for his office said.
