Darren Soto’s shutdown leaves parents wondering how to feed their kids

October 25, 2025

Out-of-touch Democrat Darren Soto’s shutdown is jeopardizing SNAP and WIC benefits, threatening access to nutrition programs that millions of mothers, infants, and children rely on every month. While Republicans are working to protect essential services, Democrats are blocking help for the most vulnerable.

“Democrat Darren Soto’s political games are leaving parents wondering how they’ll feed their kids. Republicans are fighting to reopen the government and protect these critical programs.” —  NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
