Harris slams Johnson over statement on repealing CHIPS act
Vice President Kamala Harris seized on Speaker Mike Johnson’s comment that a Republican majority in the next Congress "probably will" repeal the CHIPS and Science Act.
"It is just further evidence of everything that I've actually been talking about for months now, about Trump's intention to implement Project 2025," Harris said during a news conference in Milwaukee Saturday. "We have talked repeatedly—and the American people know what's in it—we have talked repeatedly about their intention to get rid of the Affordable Care Act, now to get rid of the CHIPS Act."
Johnson later backtracked on his comment claiming he misheard the question posed by a student journalist at an event in upstate New York.
"Well, let’s be clear why he walked it back because it’s not popular and their agenda is not popular," the vice president said. "And that’s why people are showing up by the thousands, tens of thousands, to talk about an agenda that actually is focused on lifting them up."
