Agriculture, Rural Development, FDA Appropriations, FY2027 (WIC and nutrition cuts)
House Bill, H.R. 8646
What it did
H.R. 8646, sponsored by Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD), is the House agriculture spending bill for fiscal year 2027. It sets total discretionary spending at $26.27 billion, $380 million below the fiscal year 2026 level. The Congressional Research Service lists WIC among the accounts cut, at $200 million (2.4%) below the enacted level; the committee calls the $8 billion figure full funding and points to falling participation, which is itself a product of the 2025 reconciliation law's SNAP and Medicaid cuts pushing families off the rolls.
Bloomberg Government's analysis describes the measure as cutting both SNAP and WIC. A yes vote accepted the lower level.
A no vote rejected it.
The House passed the bill 213-210 on June 4, 2026.
At the time of this vote, about 2 million fewer children were on Medicaid than when the administration took office, and more than 1.2 million children had lost SNAP since July 2025.
Result: Passed 213-210
At the time of this vote: 2,000,000 fewer US kids on Medicaid since Trump took office; 1,200,000+ kids lost SNAP since July 2025
The humane vote: No (NAY)
