Senate Republicans exclude Democrats’ food aid demand from farm bill
Senate Republicans' farm bill proposal excludes Democrats' demand to delay a shift of food aid costs to states, risking bipartisan support. Democrats plan to oppose the bill without this delay, which is set to start in October 2027. The draft also omits Republican priorities like year-round E15 fuel sales and restrictions on state animal welfare laws.
