He noted that the funding lapse could leave millions struggling to put food on the table.<\/p>\n<div class=\"autors-widget\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cAnd like I said, to all of the viewers, I\u2019m apologizing that we can\u2019t even get our s\u2014 together and just open up our government,\u201d Fetterman said, according to the New York Post.<\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\">\n<p>The shutdown has entered its fourth week, with Republicans and Democrats in the Senate deadlocked over spending legislation for the new fiscal year. SNAP funding, scheduled for distribution on Nov. 1, is now at risk, potentially affecting around 42 million Americans, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.<\/p>\n<p>Fetterman shared that he expects to see the impact personally when he returns to Pennsylvania. His wife, Giselle, runs a local Free Store distributing food three times a week, and he has already noticed longer lines. \u201cNow, I will encounter people that have no SNAP benefits starting on Saturday, and I don\u2019t have an explanation for them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Apologizing on behalf of Senate Democrats, Fetterman called the situation \u201can absolute failure\u201d and highlighted the struggle parents face when basic benefits disappear.<\/p>\n<p>The Pennsylvania Democrat, who has consistently supported continuing resolutions to fund and reopen the government, criticized his party for failing to reach an agreement with Senate Republicans. \u201cIf a Democrat \u2014 you know, we\u2019re not allowed to just open this up, I mean, then our party has bigger problems than I thought we might have already. It\u2019s like, that\u2019s not controversial. Pay everybody,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"autors-widget\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) posted a video criticizing President Donald Trump for the shutdown\u2019s effects on SNAP. Schumer said Trump is \u201cmanufacturing a hunger crisis to bludgeon the American people so he doesn\u2019t have to fix healthcare.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\">\n<p>Republican leaders have said they are open to negotiating new subsidies for Obamacare but only after a clean continuing resolution to reopen the government is passed.<\/p>\n<p>As the standoff continues, federal workers remain unpaid, SNAP benefits are at risk, and families across the country are feeling the effects of a shutdown that shows no immediate resolution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
