Part 4/9:
The impending crisis isn't just about government services; it also threatens to impact low-income programs and federal benefits scheduled to be cut off starting November 1st. This includes critical programs like Obamacare and SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), which are expected to affect millions of Americans, most of whom tend to lean Democratic. The shutdown and its fallout may accelerate political pressure and shape voter behavior in upcoming elections.
