Millions of Americans lost food assistance under Trump's welfare reforms. The administration ended pandemic-era expansions to the SNAP program without replacing them with alternative support. Low-income families are now without that income.
Pandemic-era expansions to SNAP were meant to be temporary. But ending them without a replacement program means families that depend on food assistance simply lost it. This isn't a policy debate—it's a direct reduction in income for people who were already struggling. The scale is significant: "millions" means this isn't a small adjustment but a broad-based cut.
