YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Feeding America CEO Claire Babineaux-Fontenot told "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" that before the government shutdown, food insecurity rates in the U.S. were "higher than at any point during the pandemic." "We're continuing to see very high demand. I think part of the reason is because the fastest growing group of people turning to the charitable food system, they're people who don't even qualify for any federal nutrition programs so this is an area that we've got to stay focused on," she added.

"Face the Nation" is America's premier Sunday morning public affairs program. The broadcast is one of the longest-running news programs in the history of television, having debuted Nov. 7, 1954, on CBS. Every Sunday, "Face the Nation" moderator and CBS News senior foreign affairs correspondent Margaret Brennan welcomes leaders, newsmakers, and experts to a lively round table discussion of current events and the latest news.
