The Pennsylvania governor said in an interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press” he hopes Congress revitalizes Medicaid and SNAP programs next term.
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said he hopes Democrats prioritize healthcare and food assistance when they take control of Congress in January, though he urged them not to forget to hold the Trump administration accountable.
“I hope one of the first things that the Congress does is to stop these Medicaid cuts, stop the SNAP cuts, roll back the cuts, the effective cuts in the Affordable Care Act,” Shapiro said in an interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that aired Sunday.
Shapiro said that in Pennsylvania alone, 510,000 people are losing healthcare and 143,000 more are losing SNAP or food assistance because of cuts approved during Donald Trump’s second term.
While he stressed the importance of revitalizing Medicaid and SNAP programs, Shapiro also said Democrats shouldn’t forget to hold the Trump administration accountable.
No, he has them straight. Helping the citizens trump has hurt should be the first priority
The most harm has been done by violating the law. Helping the citizens harmed by this means holding law-breakers accountable.
What kind of message does it send to the world of we just let this shit pass with no consequences?
I’ve never seen so many people come out of the woodwork to preach forgiveness for treason and pedophilia. Russia bot farms must be working overtime.
Did I say we should let it pass with no consequences?
They can and must do both. They are full time public servants and they all have staffers to help them research and write legislation.
Saying ‘don’t do this until later’ is a coded way of saying it isn’t going to get done.
Accountability first, otherwise whatever gets done will be undone. See Biden.
Democrats don’t have the numbers to remove him, and building court cases can take years.
They dont have to go after trump directly. He has an entire governtment full of lackies
And those court cases and investigations can take years.
