Biden to travel to Michigan Tuesday to roadshow $52 billion semiconductor windfall

President Biden is expected to travel to Michigan on Tuesday to deliver remarks on Congress’ recent passage of its $280 billion technology spending bill aimed at boosting domestic semiconductor manufacturing and spurring scientific research in a key make-or-break legislative win for the administration.

Mr. Biden plans to tout the positive impact that the $52 billion payout for semiconductor manufacturers included in the bill will have on economic and national security, the White House said on Saturday in a statement announcing the trip.

The House gave final passage to the bill in a 243-187 vote on Thursday after the Senate passed the measure 64-33 earlier in the week.
