Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., earned praise from Republicans for calling out his own party as food stamp assistance is on the line amid a partial government shutdown.
“As a committed Democrat, I’m dismayed my party is playing chicken with the food security of 42M Americans. I reject a political gamble that exposes a vulnerable constituency to widespread deprivation and chaos,” Fetterman declared in a Tuesday post on X.
A statement posted on the U.S. Department of Agriculture website warns that “the well has run dry” for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and “there will be no benefits issued November 01.”
