New data analyzed by Hunger Free America, a national advocacy group, shows that, out of the 10 states with the highest percentage of their populations receiving federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP) benefits - formerly known as food stamps – fully eight voted for Trump in the last election. Most of the states with the highest SNAP utilization levels are in the South.

In response, Joel Berg, CEO of Hunger Free America said: “Disproving the stereotype that SNAP recipients are all in ‘inner cities’ or blue states, this analysis demonstrates that large numbers of Americans who rely upon federal nutrition assistance live in rural, mostly-white, areas.

Plainly put, many SNAP recipients are President-elect Trump’s people. With 44 million Americans –living in suburban, rural, and urban areas of every state – relying on SNAP, the ‘they’ is really ‘us.’

America can only be truly great if it feeds all its own residents, which is why we hope that President-elect Trump commits to ending U.S. hunger by creating jobs, raising wages, and bolstering the federal food safety net.

At a bare minimum, we hope President-elect Trump pledges to stop Speaker Paul Ryan’s misguided plans to again slash food aid to vulnerable Americans to pay for more tax cuts for the mega-rich.”
