As Chuck Schumer’s government shutdown nears one month, funding for SNAP is scheduled to run out this week, jeopardizing assistance for over 1.4 million Ohioans and over 550,000 kids. Sherrod Brown is Chuck Schumer’s handpicked candidate, and there’s no doubt he would vote with his former colleagues to shut down the federal government. Chuck Schumer said, “Every day gets better for [Democrats],” reaffirming that this shutdown is political leverage in their fight to give illegal aliens free healthcare.
“While Sherrod Brown has refused to be honest with Ohioans about how we would vote on the government shutdown, there’s no doubt Brown would sell out to the radical left and let over 550,000 Ohio kids go hungry all to demand free healthcare for illegal aliens,” said NRSC Regional Press Secretary Nick Puglia.
Background:
- On October 10, 2025, the Department of Agriculture sent a letter to state agencies advising state processors to “hold their November issuance files and delay transmission to State EBT vendors until further notice.” The letter stated that there were only enough funds to keep the SNAP program going through October 2025.
- Democrats’ partisan proposal to reopen the government demands free healthcare for illegal aliens and gutting the historic $50 billion investment in rural healthcare delivered by President Trump’s Working Family Tax Cuts law.
- Sherrod Brown has refused to say how he would vote on the government shutdown because he’s scared of being held accountable by Ohioans for selling out to the far left.
