House passes Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, 224-200

The House passes the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 by 224-200 after more than two years of failed negotiations. The vote includes 14 Democratic votes - the highest minority-party support for a House Farm Bill since 2008 - and over 96 percent of the Republican conference. The bipartisan coalition reflects the longstanding political logic of the Farm Bill: rural Republicans need urban Democratic votes to pass commodity subsidies, and urban Democrats need rural Republican votes to preserve SNAP.
