Trump Blames Sen. Stabenow for Holding Up Farm Bill

President Donald Trump took to Twitter Thursday to blame Senate Ag Committee Ranking Member Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., for preventing the farm bill from being completed."Senator Debbie Stabenow and the Democrats are totally against approving the Farm Bill," Trump tweeted. "They are fighting tooth and nail to not allow our Great Farmers to get what they so richly deserve. Work requirements are imperative and the Dems are a NO. Not good!"Stabenow, however, countered with a tweet of her own, pointing out, "In case you missed it, the Senate passed a bipartisan #FarmBill that got 86 votes - the most ever. I'm not letting politics distract me from working across the aisle to finalize a good bill that will deliver certainty for farmers and families in Michigan and across the country."Meanwhile, House Ag Committee Chairman Mike Conaway, R-Tex., welcomed Trump's comments, telling reporters that Stabenow has "got to come to the table and so far from my perspective, I'm not getting the kind of negotiating out of her that gets us to a deal."However, indications are that the nutrition program area is not the only portion of the bill where House and Senate negotiators remain apart. And Senate Ag Committee Chairman Pat Roberts, R- Kan., has already signaled the potential for getting the bill done before the end of September is getting less likely.
