GOP Farm Bill Draft Omits Democrats' SNAP Cost-Share Delay
Senate Agriculture Chair Boozman’s farm bill discussion draft advances without conceding Democrats' demand to delay the shift of some SNAP costs to states, jeopardizing bipartisan support; Democrats vow to oppose a bill that doesn’t push back on the cost-share change, while Boozman notes openness to discussion but cites budget concerns; a markup is planned after the July 4 recess, and lawmakers from both parties are weighing amendments as the House version mirrors several provisions and aims for a quick path to final passage.
