SNAP Faces $187 Billion in Cuts. Who Is Paying the Price? | Amanpour and Company

Benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program [SNAP] are a vital lifeline for many low-income families, helping them get the groceries they need to feed their households. But millions are now losing access to SNAP benefits due to radical cuts specified in President Trump's so-called "Big Beautiful Bill." Sara Naomi Bleich, Professor of Public Health Policy at Harvard, joins Hari Sreenivasan to break down what this means.
