Friday is Deadline for Second House Farm Bill Vote

Friday is the deadline for the House of Representatives to reconsider the farm bill, but It’s still unclear exactly when the vote might take place.

Republican leadership is said to be planning for a Friday vote, but there is also a good chance it could happen on Thursday.

Either way, the vote is expected to be very close. It will likely hinge on whether members of the House Freedom Caucus, who voted against the bill last time, support it this time around.  And that likely depends on whether GOP leadership follows through on its promise to hold a vote this week on immigration legislation.
