VP’s office responds to PA gov who said Vance betrayed Appalachian roots with 'bull---- politics' over SNAP

Vice President JD Vance’s office hit back Monday at Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who used a Philadelphia press conference to criticize Vance while outlining the state’s contingency plan to keep SNAP (food stamp) benefits flowing during the government shutdown.Shapiro had joined 24 states to successfully sue the USDA over November’s SNAP benefit suspension. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania itself was not a plaintiff, as Republican Attorney General David Sunday was not involved.Shapiro referenced Vance’s "Hillbilly Elegy" and the Ohioan’s strong bonds with his elders in Breathitt County, Kent
