Clark accuses Republicans of cutting SNAP to fund tax breaks

House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark says Republican legislation, which she calls the 'Big Ugly Law', removed 4 million Americans from SNAP food assistance, charging that the party prioritised billionaire tax cuts over feeding hungry children. She pledged that a House Democratic majority would reverse the cuts. The claim is fuelling partisan debate over the law's impact on low-income Americans.

Why now: A senior Democrat is publicly attacking Republican welfare and tax policy, stoking partisan conflict over SNAP cuts.
