Schumer Demands GOP Put SNAP-Only Bill to Vote

Amidst the ongoing government shutdown, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer urges Republicans to vote on the Keep SNAP Funded Act, a bill that would keep the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program fully funded. With millions relying on SNAP benefits, the bill has support from ten Republican senators and Democrat Peter Welch. However, Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune argues for a full government reopening instead. As the shutdown continues, the future of SNAP and other benefits remains uncertain, with both parties blaming each other for the standoff. The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story. AI Powered.
