Several Republicans who voted against the CHIPS and Science Act are taking credit for the bill’s support for tech hubs, many of which are devoted to energy and environmental issues.
The law was one of the major accomplishments of President Joe Biden’s first two years. And as they did with the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, GOP lawmakers who opposed the legislation are now cheering its benefits.
As next year’s elections approach, Democrats are planning to remind voters which party was the driving force behind programs to compete with China and address the climate crisis.
L]et’s not forget that the vast majority of congressional Republicans voted against the CHIPS and Science Act,” Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison said on the act’s anniversary in August.
The bill was a bipartisan product in the Senate, sponsored by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Todd Young (R-Ind.), with backing from Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). It passed the chamber 64-32.
The dynamics were different in the House, where then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and many of the chamber’s hard-liners didn’t want to give Biden any wins. They also had philosophical differences about how to counter China. Only 24 House Republicans voted for the bill.
