  • Whitmer tweeted earlier this week: "CHIPS+ sets America up for decades of growth, brings vital supply chains home, creates & protect tens of thousands of good-paying jobs, & lowers costs for families. We’ve been cheering this bill on for so long. Let's show the world that Michigan is the place to build the future."
  • Whitmer has used the CHIPS bill as a campaign platform for her re-election bid in November. Bloomberg writes: "...she has been vocal about abortion rights, a topic her opponents disagree with, Michigan elections are often decided by the state’s large base of independent voters, who often prioritize economic issues.
  • Bloomberg continues: [Whitmer] worked to rally Michigan’s congressional delegation to vote for the act and also has a state fund of $1 billion she could use to sweeten the pot for anyone wanting to build a chip fabrication plant in her state."
