"So for JD Vance now to turn around after claiming all these things his whole life and literally go to court to stop hungry people from eating, that is not only phony, it’s shameful."
"You’ll excuse me for getting emotional about it, but when I see hungry people in my state who are hungry because of JD Vance's bull---- politics, that makes me angry. And that's why I went to court."

"Republicans in Congress must work across the aisle to quickly reopen the government and protect food assistance and access to health care for the millions of people in Pennsylvania and around the country still at risk because of this continued inaction," Arkoosh said in a statement.
The war of words could preview a potential 2028 matchup as both Vance and Shapiro are considered top potential contenders for their parties’ presidential nominations next cycle.
