John Thune: “That would not be a good outcome for getting a bill done.”

It's still a work in progress.

We’ve got to get a bill, if we want to pass a farm bill, that’s something that can pass the House and be signed into law by the president.

The election ought to be painting a contrast between us and the Democrats and not creating conflicts with fellow Republicans.

Unfortunately, I think after two government shutdowns that have extended for a long period of time, it’s better for everybody if there’s predictability, certainty, and just to take that issue off the table.
