GOP Leadership Looks to Block Farm Bill Vote
Many in Congress want a vote before the election
House Republican leaders are pressuring members to refrain from backing a measure that would force a floor vote on a five-year farm bill.
GOP leaders have refused to allow a vote on bipartisan legislation that cleared the House Agriculture Committee, 35-11, in July. Officials in leadership say the bill lacks the support to pass the House, noting conservative members who have balked at its $900- billion price tag.
