With global warming destroying crops in large scales and getting worse year after year, what would happen to the food products in America? Will millions go hungry in the near future?

Yes. And millions are undernourished now.

I highly doubt it. For starters, GW has _not_ been having all that big an effect on crops here. Other, more arid parts of the world perhaps, where people are farming on already marginal land, but not here.
Second, we are the most agriculturally productive nation on Earth. Around the year 1900, roughly 1/3 of Americans were involved in agriculture--over 30%. Today, due to improved farming practices, higher yield seeds (including, yes, genetically modified crops), and much better farming technology, less than 2% of Americans are farmers, and that percentage is continuing to drop.
America has had a food surplus for many decades now, and I don't see that as going away anytime soon. If anything, improved farming productivity in the future will mean even more food surpluses, not shortages. So relax, and don't let the hype of GW turn you into another Chicken Little.

Myth 1: The Earth is overpopulated. This is complete bull. Every person on Earth could stand in the city of Atlanta so lets get away from this overpopulation myth.
Myth 2: There is a food shortage. There is more food than people to eat it. The problem in countries where there is starvation is corruption.

Not if ya know how to survive, know where to look for food that is not in a Grocery store.
Don't get me wrong...i do shop in stores, but i also know how to find food in the forests and fields.
I could survive on the land, don't need to go hunting at a store to survive. As i suspect there are many others who could also.
Millions, i don't know. Many will go hungry?
Peace and Love to all

We are already over our carrying capacity, so I'd say perhaps.
