Source: The Hill
Ten GOP senators have signed on to back Sen. Josh Hawley’s (R-Mo.) bill to fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) as the government shutdown threatens a program lapse in November.
Republican Sens. James Lankford (Okla.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Susan Collins (Maine), Marsha Blackburn (Tenn.), Bernie Moreno (Ohio), Kevin Cramer (N.D.), Bill Cassidy (La.), Katie Britt (Ala.), Jon Husted (Ohio) and John Cornyn (Texas) have formed a coalition to advance Hawley’s legislation.
Sen. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) remains the sole Democrat in the upper chamber to co-sponsor the bill.
