JUST IN: 🇺🇸 President Trump moves to cut SNAP food stamp benefits for over 6.3 million people.
Trump Administration Proposes SNAP Cuts for 6.3 Million People
The proposal ends broad-based categorical eligibility in 46 states, which has let some above income limits qualify for food stamps. USDA estimates 3.2 million households, or 6.3 million people, would lose aid, saving $45 billion over five years, while also affecting free school meals for nearly 2 million children. Supporters like Katie Pavlich praise it for curbing fraud and abuse, but Democrats such as Rep. Ilhan Omar call it cruel, especially amid prior cuts removing benefits from 5.5 million since last summer. Public comments are open for 30 days amid debates over program waste and access.
