Vice-President Kamala Harris damn president of the Chamber Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Saturday after his comment that the GOP could seek to repeal CHIPS and the Science Act if it retains control of Congress.

“I want to talk about the comments that were made recently by the Speaker of the House,” Harris told reporters in Milwaukee, according to NBC News. “It’s just further proof of everything I’ve been saying for months actually, about (former President Donald) Trump’s intent to implement Project 2025.”

Johnson spent the week before the election revealing his intention to take an ax to popular legislation next year. On Friday, while attending an event in New York with Rep. Brandon Williams (RN.Y.) whose seat is vulnerable, Johnson was asked if Republicans will try to repeal the CHIPS Act, a bipartisan manufacturing and jobs law signed by President Joe Biden in 2022.

“I expect we probably will,” Johnson said.

This put Williams in the awkward position of disagreeing with Johnson while sitting next to him. “The CHIPS Act has a huge impact here,” Williams said, vowing to “remind” Johnson “night and day” about the law’s significance.

Johnson later walked back his comment, saying in a statement: “As I have explained and clarified further, I fully support Micron coming to Central NY and the CHIPS Act is not on the agenda for repeal. On the contrary, there could be legislation that further simplifies and improves the main purpose of the bill – to eliminate its costly regulations and Green New Deal requirements.”

Williams said in a statement that Johnson apologized and said he “misheard the question.”

Enacted in 2022, the CHIPS and Science Act, “establishes and provides funding for the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors (CHIPS) Fund for America to carry out activities related to creating incentives to produce semiconductors in the United States,” according to the document. summary. The Commerce Department notes that the ACT has led to $53 billion in semiconductor spending, $30 billion in private sector investment, 16 new semiconductor factories and added more than 100,000 new manufacturing jobs to date and constructions.

Earlier this week, Johnson said that wants to eliminate the Affordable Care Actthe Obama-era health care law, Trump and Republicans have been trying to repeal it for years — with no plan to replace it. “No Obamacare,” Johnson said. “ACA is so deeply entrenched, we need massive reform to make this work, and we have lots of ideas about how to do that.”

Trump tried to distance himself from Johnson’s comments, which the House speaker later tried to walk back claiming that when he said the ACA was “deeply entrenched,” he meant it should stay that way.

Democrats slammed Johnson and Republicans for their plans to gut both popular pieces of legislation. On Saturday, Harris continued to take issue with Johnson’s comment about the possible repeal of the CHIPS Act, saying he only retracted his original statement “because it’s not popular and their agenda is not popular.”

“And that’s why people are showing up by the thousands, tens of thousands, to talk about an agenda that’s actually focused on uplifting them,” she added.
