On Monday, Schumer made his position clear in a post on X, saying, "I will NOT support a Farm Bill that doesn’t protect SNAP funding."
He followed the statement with a broader warning about the consequences of reducing food assistance, adding, "A Farm Bill that abandons hungry families is wholly unacceptable."
