BREAKING: Senator Justice Warns Against SNAP Cuts. His party’s bill would gut millions of Americans’ SNAP Benefits.

WASHINGTON, DC – West Virginia Senator Jim Justice warned against the proposed cuts to SNAP, a program that tens of millions of Americans rely on for affordable groceries. Justice cited the devastating impact these cuts would have on everyday Americans:
“If we don’t watch out, people are going to get hurt, people are going to be upset. It’s going to be the No.1 thing on the nightly news all over the place…”
That all, despite the fact that House Republicans signed off on the largest cuts to SNAP in history – a bill Trump has endorsed already. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates 3.2 million adults, including 800,000 parents of school-aged children, would be kicked off SNAP as a result of the “Big, Beautiful Betrayal”.
Justice is one of several Senators that have voiced their opposition to cuts to programs like Medicaid and SNAP in the reconciliation package – and could be decisive to ensuring tens of millions of Americans don’t lose the benefits they rely on for healthcare or groceries.
Senator Justice is the latest of many congressional Republicans to voice concern over extreme, draconian cuts to critical programs like SNAP and Medicaid. And there’s no question that the budget scam is concerning. Between slashing SNAP benefits for more than 3 million Americans and gutting healthcare for nearly 16 million Americans, this bill will make millions of people poorer, hungrier, and sicker while driving up our national debt.”

Many of the Republican opponents of SNAP and Medicaid cuts also stand to benefit financially from the Trump tax scam. For example, according to Accountable.US’ Cash in Congress project, Senator Justice could personally benefit from passing the package.
