When that occurs, I look forward to supporting the final package.
Support a truly bipartisan and comprehensive Farm Bill that provides meaningful relief to Americans.
Occurrences
bipartisan and comprehensive Farm Bill
Evidence
Representative Emanuel Cleaver, II (D-MO) released a statement after voting against the Farm Bill, which was passed by the House without traditional broad bipartisan support. He said, “I believe Congress can do better, and it is my hope that the Senate will work together to craft a truly bipartisan and comprehensive Farm Bill that provides meaningful relief to Americans who desperately need it. When that occurs, I look forward to supporting the final package.”
The House considered H.R. 7567, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, and after debate and amendments, “The bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time” and then “The bill was passed.” The record shows the House completed passage on April 30, 2026.
Congress.gov identifies H.R. 7567 as the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, introduced in the House on February 13, 2026, and notes the latest action as referral to the House Committee on Agriculture, with the bill status shown as Introduced on the page snapshot reviewed.
Assessments
Cleaver clearly supported the goal of a bipartisan, comprehensive Farm Bill and voted against the House-passed bill because he did not view it as meeting that standard. The evidence shows the House passed a farm bill in April 2026, but not with the broad bipartisan character he called for, and there is no evidence here that a final bipartisan comprehensive package was enacted. Because there was concrete legislative movement during the same term but the promised outcome itself was not completed, this is best scored as partial rather than delivered.
