Evidence

The House of Representatives passed the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 on April 30, 2026, by a final vote of 224-200.

Official House Agriculture Committee release confirms the farm bill passed the House, which satisfies the commitment to move the Farm Bill through the House.

Congress.gov lists H.R.7567 as introduced on February 13, 2026, referred to House Agriculture, with status still Introduced and only two actions.

The primary federal bill-status record does not show House passage of the 2026 farm bill; it shows only introduction and referral. This conflicts with the House Agriculture Committee press release claiming passage.

The House Agriculture Committee stated that the House passed the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 on April 30, 2026, by 224-200.

If accepted at face value, this official committee release supports delivery of a House-side promise to move the Farm Bill through the House. Its claim is not corroborated by the Congress.gov bill action record found for H.R.7567.

The committee published floor remarks supporting the 2026 farm bill and said it had passed committee after a 22-hour markup with amendments debated and adopted.

This supports that the House Agriculture Committee advanced the farm bill and that floor consideration was underway, which is concrete progress short of confirmed House passage in the primary bill-status record.

Congress.gov says Public Law 119-37 extended programs from the 2018 farm bill through September 30, 2026, among other agriculture provisions.

The farm-bill extension shows Congress relied on temporary continuation of the 2018 farm bill into FY2026, providing background that a new farm bill had not yet replaced it at that point.

Scalise's official leadership site identifies him as House Majority Leader and representative of Louisiana's First Congressional District.

This establishes the relevant federal office context for assessing a House-floor scheduling or passage promise during the same congressional term, but it does not by itself prove farm-bill delivery.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

The best primary bill-status record for H.R.7567 on Congress.gov still lists the bill only as introduced and referred to House Agriculture on February 13, 2026, with no House-passage action, despite the House Agriculture Committee press release claiming April 30, 2026 passage. Given that conflict, the primary federal legislative record controls: the promised outcome of moving the Farm Bill through the House is not confirmed as delivered. Committee advancement, floor remarks, and Scalise's House Majority Leader role support a serious same-term effort, so effort credit is warranted.

The promised outcome was achieved during Scalise’s current federal service: the House passed the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 on April 30, 2026. For a House-side promise to move the Farm Bill through the House, final House passage satisfies the commitment. Given Scalise’s role as an active House Republican leader/representative, this is appropriately credited as delivered in the same term.
