Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Del.), a member of the House Committee on Agriculture, says she anticipates a compromise with Republicans on the bill to reauthorize U.S. Department of Agriculture funding. One version of the bill adds stringent work requirements to the SNAP (food stamps) program, which led Democrats to oppose it. Blunt Rochester believes Republicans will be motivated to compromise to pass the bill before Democrats gain the House majority in January 2019.
