White House blames Dems for potential WIC lapse, announces ‘creative solution’ to keep program running
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday that President Donald Trump has authorized a plan to use tariff revenue to keep the WIC nutrition program running during the government shutdown, vowing the administration “will not allow mothers and children to go hungry.” In a post on X, Leavitt accused Democrats of “cruelly voting to shut down the government,” saying their actions forced the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, or WIC, to run out of funds this week. Leavitt added that Trump had directed officials to tap Section 232 tariff revenue to sustain WIC. The White House confirmed to Fox News that the plan is a short-term “creative solution” developed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). TRUMP’S WEEK IN REVIEW: SHUTDOWN SHOWDOWNS AND ARMED CARTEL CONFLICT “The Trump White House will not allow impoverished mothers and their babies to go hungry because of the Democrats’ political games,” Leavitt said in a statement. How much tariff money will be used has not yet been disclosed, but the infusion is expected to cover costs “for the foreseeable future.” The program had been projected to exhaust its funds within weeks. WIC provides vouchers for healthy food, breastfeeding assistance and nutrition education to roughly 6 million low-income women and children nationwide. WHITE HOUSE SAYS FEDERAL LAYOFFS COULD HIT ‘THOUSANDS’ AHEAD OF TRUMP, VOUGHT MEETING The federal government spent more than $7 billion on the program during fiscal 2024, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Democrats have criticized Republicans in past budget fights over WIC eligibility and funding levels, while Republicans blame Democrat resistance to spending restraints for fueling the current shutdown. The White House has not said how long tariff funds will last or whether another infusion would be needed if Congress remains deadlocked.

The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s/FOX Business’ request for comment.
Democrat Aftyn Behn advances to special election in battle for vacant congressional seat in deep-red district
Democrats on Tuesday picked their nominee in a special congressional election for a vacant seat in Tennessee. Aftyn Behn, a former healthcare community organizer and current Democrat state representative, captured her party’s nomination, according to The Associated Press. The Dickson County Democratic Party described Behn as “our very own AOC of TN,” in a reference to U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., according to The Tennessee Star. The primary field included three state representatives and a consultant in Tennessee’s solidly red 7th Congressional District. Behn will now be considered the underdog in the Dec. 2 general election in the race to succeed former Republican Rep. Mark Green, who resigned from office in June to take a private sector job. HEAD HERE FOR FOX NEWS COVERAGE OF THE 2025 ELECTIONS President Donald Trump carried the district, which is located in central and western Tennessee and stretches from Kentucky to Alabama, by roughly 20 points in last year’s presidential election. TRUMP FRONT-AND-CENTER IN THESE 2025 ELECTION SHOWDOWNS Trump’s immense political clout in Republican nomination races faced a test Tuesday in a crowded and competitive GOP primary. This after the president last week endorsed Matt Van Epp, a former commissioner of the Tennessee Department of General Services, and one of 11 names on the ballot in the GOP primary. Van Epp claimed victory on Tuesday. Republicans currently control the House 219-213, with two vacancies: the seat in Tennessee and Texas 18th Congressional District, following the death earlier this year of Democratic Rep. Sylvester Turner. Democrat Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, who won a special congressional election in Arizona last month, has yet to be sworn in.
