House Republicans are negotiating to move three priority items—the three-year extension of the Section 702 spy law, the farm bill with pesticide labeling provisions, and a budget resolution—toward floor votes, but internal hard-liner opposition and ongoing negotiations threaten to delay action even as King Charles III visits the Capitol.
House Republicans are poised to vote on pesticide labeling language within the farm bill after a revolt from MAGA-aligned Republicans and Make America Healthy Again activists. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna has threatened to derail the bill if the pesticide provision—seen as a liability shield for manufacturers—is not stripped. A draft House Rules rule to advance the farm bill circulated, but it still must clear committees and win floor votes, underscoring intra-GOP tensions alongside other items like the Section 702 FISA extension, budget priorities, and ethanol policy.
House Republicans plan a late-April floor vote on the farm bill after committee approval, but timing is fluid amid other priorities (immigration enforcement funding and a potential second reconciliation) and intra-party divisions over pesticide labeling and state livestock laws. Some Democrats may back the bill due to bipartisan provisions, while conservatives worry about certain “poison pills”; Senate leadership is moving ahead with timing discussions as they prepare for potential negotiations to secure 60 votes.
