Not exactly, although the US numbers aren't good at all, especially not for a supposedly rich and developed country.

While approximately 13% (1 in 8) of children across the U.S. may experience food insecurity, estimated rates reach as high as 43% (1 in 2) in East Carroll Parish, Louisiana. Food insecurity is also more prevalent among children than it is among the total population in every state and in more than 8 out of 10 counties (2,593 out of 3,143).

62% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck amid inflation

Source. Not exactly about low income, but it shows that 62% of Americans doesn't have any savings.

However it is also inarguable that the numbers for Venezuela are much worse, and whataboutism is never a good argument anyway.
