As for the farm bill, formal negotiations can’t start until the House rejects the Senate-passed version and votes to go to conference with the Senate. That step will clear the way for conferees to be appointed by each chamber.

It’s not clear when that will happen. The Senate formally notified the House June 29 that it had approved its version of the bill, but the House GOP leadership has not yet scheduled consideration of the Senate measure.

The Senate passed the bill by an historically large margin, 86-11, on June 28, one week after House GOP leaders finally won passage of the House version, 213-211. House Democrats united in opposition to the bill because of its expanded work requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

The House work rules won’t make it into the final bill, because McConnell said the legislation's nutrition provisions will have to be acceptable to Democrats.

“The House version of the farm bill had no Democratic support and you can’t pass a farm bill through the Senate with no Democratic support, so we’ll have to resolve the work issue in a way that is satisfactory to Democrats in order to pass a farm bill out of the Congress and get it to the president for his signature,” McConnell said.
