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.

How important is consistency in the positions of our elected representatives to you?
@Patriot-#1776Constitution6mos6MO
Absolutely Critical
These are not gods, or oracles, or all-knowing wise people. These are stupid people, because their minds have been corrupted by political power. It is a testament to the character of the House Liberty Caucus that its members have managed to stay dedicated to liberty despite all the hell they face for it.
@9H92TMN6mos6MO
Very important they need to be consistent, they can make mistakes their human too but they are the professionsals it needs to be minimum
@ElectoralJeff6mos6MO
Meanwhile extreme liberal democrats burn down cities, trap motorists in their cars for hours while people who don't vote the way you want are EXTREMISTS. This is America Jaypal, voting is not considered extreme. Cutting off your penis is extreme

I can't believe this kind of stupid. Where in the Constitution is it said that these so-called "Republicans" can vote to continue the deficit spending and use stolen taxpayer's dollars to subsidise secularist and partisan scientists? We no longer have a Democrat and Republican Party, we have a uniparty of RINOs and Far-Leftists working together against your best interests in the DC Swamp. There's only a few people genuinely concerned about liberty in Congress – Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Matt Getz, Chip Roy, MTG, Jim Jordan – but they're few and FAR between. This is why EVERYONE needs to vote in the GOP PRIMARIES FOR ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT to insure that these left-wing jokers are expelled from government and replaced with people with real principles.
@9CJ6CB64mos4MO
You are F*ING kidding, right? The democrat party is NOT left, just shut up about that.
@WholesomePublicPolicy6mos6MO
few have taken an exit that will serve them well for years to come. I know they've been viciously attacked at times, but that pivotal decision will lift them when it counts most. COURAGE and WISDOM.
