Warner joined bipartisan sponsors of the Hot Rotisserie Chicken Act, which would let SNAP participants buy hot rotisserie chicken with their benefits; he called it a commonsense fix to an outdated rule.
Support passage of the Hot Rotisserie Chicken Act to make hot rotisserie chicken SNAP-eligible.
Occurrences
Evidence
On June 5, 2026, Warner said he joined Bennet, Justice, Fetterman, Capito, Coons, Blunt Rochester, McCormick, and Wicker in sponsoring the Hot Rotisserie Chicken Act; the release says the bill would let SNAP participants buy hot rotisserie chicken and notes the House companion had already been adopted.
The House Daily Digest reports that the Crawford amendment adding hot rotisserie chicken as an SNAP-eligible item was agreed to by recorded vote, 384 ayes to 35 noes.
Assessments
Warner publicly co-sponsored the Hot Rotisserie Chicken Act and the House companion had already advanced, so he clearly supported and materially advanced the policy. But there is no evidence that the Senate bill actually passed or that hot rotisserie chicken became SNAP-eligible, so the promise was not fully delivered.
