WASHINGTON, DC - OCTOBER 30: (SPEECH) Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA) says "Is to try to deal with the health care crisis the Republicans created with the big, bad, ugly bill of stuff. You know, Democrat attorney generals across the country are fighting this in court right now. They may win. People who live in the States may get it. I'm a Virginian, and I'm sad to say that our attorney general, Jason Miyares, refused to join that lawsuit. Which means if the judges ruled that snap benefits would be released. Virginians are not going to be a part of that. They're not going to get their benefits. My Virginia colleagues and I are demanding that the attorney general Miyares join that lawsuit on behalf of all Virginians. It may not happen, but please remember, there's an election coming this Tuesday. And wherever you are. California, Virginia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, or the Washingtonians of Maryland, please make sure every Virginia you know gets out and votes. If you don't vote, it doesn't make a difference." during a rally with faith leaders, food bank workers, and furloughed federal employees in front of the U.S. Department of Agriculture on the National Mall during the 30th day of the federal government shutdown on October 30, 2025 in Washington, DC. Hosted by the Federal Unionists Network, Free DC and other activist organizations, the food drive and political rally brought together faith leaders, food bank workers, and furloughed federal employees who demanded that the Trump administration release $6 billion in emergency funds for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which helps 42 million people pay for groceries every month.
