Fetterman's rocky return to Senate subcommittee chairmanship

Senator John Fetterman chaired his first subcommittee hearing since returning to the Senate after a two-month absence for treatment for clinical depression and ongoing recovery from a stroke he suffered last year. The hearing focused on the benefits of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which Republicans have proposed increasing the number of people who must meet work requirements to qualify for. Fetterman, chairman of the subcommittee on Food and Nutrition, Specialty Crops, Organics and Research, emphasized the importance of addressing hunger as a nonpartisan issue.
