Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt addresses federal SNAP benefit freeze amid government shutdown

Published | Video Starts at 30:33

It's in the Senate right now. House has passed it again. We need six more votes to fund the government. So I would tell her just to be very optimistic. I think The longest shutdown in American history was 35 days and we're coming up on 30 right now. And it was a little bit different at that point at the beginning of the fiscal year. And this SNAP programs weren't kind of in the crosshairs in that previous shutdown. (30:33–30:39)
