In another tweet posted on March 5, 2025, Cherfilus-McCormick highlighted concerns from her constituents regarding basic needs such as food security and healthcare access. She noted that recent developments have not alleviated these worries but rather intensified them. "I’ve heard directly from my constituents who are scared. They’re worried about their next meal and whether they’ll be able to see their doctor. Last night, none of their concerns were alleviated — and some are even more worried."
