Fact-checking Biden’s claim about hunger 'sharply' dropping

President Joe Biden credits the American Rescue Plan for helping Americans recover from the pandemic and economic fallout, including those who have experienced hunger.

"The Rescue Plan is delivering food and nutrition assistance to millions of Americans facing hunger," Biden said May 5. "And hunger is already sharply down in the United States."

Biden signed the American Rescue Plan on March 11, so we wondered if the legislation had already caused hunger to decline "sharply" less than two months later.
