House Republican leaders delay farm bill vote after E15 standoff

After the rule passed, Speaker Johnson scrapped the planned votes on the farm bill and accompanying E15 fuel bill, announcing the House would focus on FISA and DHS immigration funding instead. Johnson told reporters the House would allow more time for members to work through E15 disagreements. Senate Republicans privately indicated they planned to exclude E15 from their own farm bill version. (E&E News by POLITICO, Apr. 29, 2026)
