(NAFB.com) – Senator Amy Klobuchar, the Ranking Member of the Senate Ag Committee, reacted to the potential $290 billion in cuts to SNAP proposed by Republicans on the House Ag Committee. “Instead of working with Democrats to lower costs from President Trump’s across-the-board tariffs, House Republicans have decided to pull the rug out from under families by cutting the SNAP benefits that 42 million Americans rely on to put food on the table,” she said. “This means more seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, and children will go to bed hungry.” Klobuchar also said it will mean job losses and lost wages for everyone who is a part of the food system, from truck drivers to local grocers. “Ultimately, these cuts threaten the farm bill coalition that has delivered bipartisan support for farmers, families, and rural communities for decades, and will make it harder for Congress to pass a bipartisan farm bill,” Klobuchar added.
