Senate Democrats, including Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE), held a press conference this week on how Republicans’ “Big Beautiful Betrayal” will take food assistance away from millions of Americans. They say SNAP cuts will hurt millions of Americans, including seniors, children, and veterans. The Republican bill will also raise grocery costs and increase hunger, while blowing a hole in state budgets by shifting billions of dollars in SNAP costs onto states.
“Congressional Republicans are rushing to raise costs and take food away from millions of Americans,” said Senator Klobuchar. “This bill will harm Americans who count on SNAP to put food on the table and will force governors to choose between funding food assistance or investing in education, public safety, and infrastructure.” She also said this would be a major hit to American farmers. “This reckless legislation will force kids to go hungry,” said Kansas Governor Laura Kelly.
