186 Yes

238 No

VoteAmendmentHouse

The House of Representatives rejected a proposed amendment to H.R. 7567, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026. This legislation, commonly known as the Farm Bill, is a massive multi-year package that governs national agricultural policy, nutrition programs, and rural development. The amendment failed to pass with 186 members voting in favor and 238 members voting against. The vote followed largely partisan lines, though it was not a strict party-line split. A majority of Republicans supported the amendment, while the vast majority of Democrats joined 55 Republicans to defeat the measure. Because the amendment failed, the underlying text of the bill remains unchanged as the House continues its deliberations on the broader package. As this was a vote on a specific amendment rather than the final bill, H.R. 7567 remains under consideration by the House. The rejection of this amendment suggests that the specific policy change it proposed lacked the necessary consensus to be included in the final version of the national security and agricultural legislation.

416 Yes

VoteAmendmentHouseBipartisan

The House of Representatives voted to adopt an amendment to H.R. 7567, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026. This major piece of legislation, often referred to as the Farm Bill, governs national policy on agriculture, nutrition assistance, and rural development. The amendment passed with overwhelming bipartisan support, receiving 416 votes in favor and only 8 against. By agreeing to this amendment, the House has officially incorporated these specific changes into the text of the larger bill. While the underlying bill covers a broad range of topics from crop insurance to food stamps, this particular vote indicates a high level of consensus among both Democrats and Republicans regarding the specific provisions introduced by this amendment. Because this was a vote on an amendment rather than the final bill, the legislation must still undergo further debate and a final passage vote in the House. If the full bill eventually passes the House, it will move to the Senate for consideration. This lopsided victory suggests that the amendment's contents are likely to remain a stable part of the package as it moves through the legislative process.
