House rejects five year farm bill amid party fault lines
The House failed to pass a five year farm bill after Democrats opposed cuts to food stamps and Republicans demanded broader work requirements. The vote 234 to 195 drew 62 GOP defections with 24 Democrats in support, as leaders blamed the other party for the defeat and debated reforms to nutrition and agricultural policy.
