‘Not true’: Trump admin’s false claim walloped by House Dem
A Democratic lawmaker is calling out the Trump administration over a claim about supplemental assistance that is “not true.” With Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, funding set to lapse amid the government shutdown, Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) pointed to the Trump administration’s claims that they could no longer fund the benefits. “The Trump Administration is claiming they don’t have SNAP funding for next month. That’s not true. SNAP has a contingency fund that could last well into November. If Americans don’t get their SNAP benefits, it will be because the Trump Administration decided to stop them,” Clyburn wrote on X. SNAP provides food to 42 million Americans many in red states and remains under threat. Republicans have pushed to use food stamps and the lapsing benefits to pressure Democrats and end the stalemate, according to The Hill. Democrats argue that Republicans have tried to break up federal programs for low-income Americans, pointing to Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” and how they already forced cuts to SNAP over the summer. Now, with the deadline getting closer, the program is in limbo for millions of people. “In the best-case shutdown scenario, those people are expected to receive smaller payments to help cover grocery bills. In the worst case, they will get nothing,” The Hill reports.
