YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., questioned agriculture secretary nominee Brooke Rollins about the impact of potential cuts to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and asked whether she would commit to supporting "robust funding" for the program.
"According to recent reports, House Republicans are already eyeing nearly $300 billion in cuts to the SNAP program," Klobuchar said.
"I don't yet know what the numbers look like," Rollins responded. "I need to really dig down, but my commitment to you is that we will talk about this until the very last minute."
Rollins was answering questions Thursday in her confirmation hearing before the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry.
A former White House aide, Rollins served as Trump’s domestic policy chief during his first administration as well as general deputy counsel and policy advisor for former Texas Gov. Rick Perry. Missing ethics materials and financial disclosures delayed Rollins’ confirmation hearing.
