Republicans show little appetite to repeal CHIPS Act

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : The intrigue: Repealing the CHIPS Act would be an especially tough vote for Arizona's swing-district Republicans, U.S. Reps. David Schweikert and Juan Ciscomani, whose districts have directly benefited from Arizona's semiconductor boom.
61% : Leaders on both sides of the aisle have credited the CHIPS Act with bringing new high-wage jobs to the state.
59% : Zoom in: Intel and TSMC have confirmed they've each already received more than $1 billion of CHIPS Act funding.
49% : What we're watching: Semiconductor industry executives have been formulating plans to try to convince Trump of the CHIPS Act's importance since he was elected in November, the New York Times reported last week.
42% : Reality check: Even if there was political will to repeal the CHIPS Act, the legality of clawing back funds from businesses is murky.
3% : State of play: Trump in his February joint address to Congress called the CHIPS Act a "horrible, horrible thing" that gives away money with no promise of return and asked U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson to repeal it.
