Concern Arises over Food Assistance Program Cuts Under Trump Bill

BRONX, NEW YORK, JUL 1 – The Republican budget bill aims to cut $300 billion from SNAP, potentially removing food benefits from over 60,000 Bronx residents and millions nationwide, increasing food insecurity.

  • Last Tuesday, the U.S. Senate approved its budget reconciliation bill, marking the most sweeping SNAP rollback in U.S. history.
  • The Senate passed the bill last Tuesday, with Vice President J.D. Vance casting a tie-breaking vote, supporting a proposal that backs 2017 tax cuts for the wealthy.
  • The Senate passed a bill slashing $186 billion from SNAP, which supports over 42 million Americans monthly, shifting billions in costs to states.
  • Charitable food networks warn the bill's cuts will worsen food insecurity in Texas, heavily straining local food banks and harming the broader charitable food system.
  • The legislation’s fate now hinges on a House vote, which must approve the bill in identical form amid GOP disagreements over Senate changes.
