The measure would authorize tax credits to incentivize the use of U.S.-grown cotton and U.S. cotton-manufactured products like yarns and fabric in cotton-based products sold in the United States.\n\n\u201cOfficial support from the White House for the Buying American Cotton Act marks an important milestone in our effort to strengthen the farm economy and increase access to U.S.-grown cotton. With more than 115 cosponsors in Congress, the momentum behind this legislation is undeniable,\u201d Hyde-Smith said.\n\n\u201cWhile this official support underscores the need to strengthen the farm economy and increase domestic cotton consumption, the work is far from finished. This endorsement represents a call to action. With the full backing of the administration and broad support across Capitol Hill, the Senate must seize this moment and pass this legislation by the end of the year,\u201d Hyde-Smith added. \u201cWe will continue making our case relentlessly to ensure we get this legislation across the finish line before the end of this Congress.\u201d\n\nThe White House Office of Management and Budget issues Statements of Administration Policy to formally communicate the administration\u2019s position in support of or opposition to pending legislation.\n\nThe Statement of Administration Policy on S.1919 said, in part, that \u201cThe Administration strongly supports S. 1919, the Buying American Cotton Act of 2025. This legislation advances core Administration priorities of putting American farmers and workers first, restoring domestic manufacturing, securing critical supply chains, and reducing reliance on foreign sources. It also complements the U.S. Department of Agriculture\u2019s Great American Cotton Plan to revitalize the cotton farm economy and expand demand for U.S.-grown cotton.\u201d\n\nRead the full Statement of Administration Policy on BACA here.\n\nSeparately, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins endorsed the measure at a Senate hearing last spring.\n\nEighteen Senators have cosponsored Hyde-Smith\u2019s S.1919. The House companion bill (HR.7230), introduced by Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. (R-N.C.), currently has 98 cosponsors.\n\n###", 1, "2026-09-17T09:52:05Z", "2026-09-17T09:53:00Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.hydesmith.senate.gov/trump-administration-announces-strong-support-hyde-smiths-buying-american-cotton-act"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6700619123876095, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
