The claim
“On 30 April the House passed a $390 billion farm bill, with 14 Democrats and three Republicans breaking with their parties.”
Coverage of the House farm bill vote.
Our verdict
Mostly True
The House passed the farm bill 224-200 on 30 April 2026 with 14 Democrats for and three Republicans against; we could not confirm the $390 billion figure.
What we found
States Newsroom names the 14 Democrats who voted yes and the three Republicans who voted no: Fitzpatrick, Garbarino and Hageman. Cost estimates we found describe the bill differently, so the $390 billion total is unconfirmed.
