On Friday, after the court victory, I directed our team to fully apply for SNAP benefits to make sure that they were paid to everyone who was eligible to receive those benefits. As of this morning, I'm happy to report that Those SNAP benefits have been fully funded. My message to every SNAP recipient out there is this, Forget the noise that you're hearing from Donald Trump. Forget the noise about further appeals to the Supreme Court. (02:40–02:43)
