I really want to thank all of you for coming here and enlighten all of us throughout all this, because I really do fundamentally think that it is so very critical.

Strengthening the Buy American provision ensures that the children eat not only safe and nutritious food but it supports the backbone of American agriculture.

Senators Casey and Fetterman's School Hunger Elimination Act would do both.

I personally, I think that is absurd.

American kids should be eating American-grown food in our schools. It is safer, healthier, and supports our own economy.

School lunch should always be free, and definitely free of judgment.

I thank Chairman Fetterman for introducing legislation to expand CEP and supporting Universal School Meals Program Act.

A full stomach is critical for children to learn.

I stand with the farmers, the food manufacturers, the labor unions like the Teamsters, who support this bill.

I am determined to do everything in my power to pass a farm bill by the end of the year that does that.

A full stomach is essential for making our children can learn and be successful.

I do believe. And I've been consistently saying that the Vice President is going to win in Pennsylvania and ultimately become our next president.
