Harris Slams House Speaker Mike Johnson For Vowing To Repeal Obamacare And CHIPS Act Under Trump
HuffPost
Johnson has since tried to walk back his comment about the CHIPS Act, a key manufacturing investment bill.
Vice President Kamala Harris is vowing to protect health care access and U.S. manufacturing jobs following House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) admissions that Republicans are considering repealing major laws if they take power and Donald Trump wins the presidential election.
“Health care reform’s going to be a big part of the agenda,” Johnson said Monday at an event in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, per NBC News. “When I say we’re going to have a very aggressive first 100 days agenda, we got a lot of things still on the table.”
When asked a follow-up question about the Affordable Care Act, the law establishing the program widely known as Obamacare, Johnson confirmed there would be “no more Obamacare” under a second Trump term. On Friday, he also floated repealing the CHIPS Act, which provided for major investments in electronics manufacturing, when a student journalist asked him about it, before reportedly apologizing and claiming he misheard the question.
Harris sharply denounced both of these ideas during a campaign stop Saturday in Wisconsin.
“I want to speak to the comments that have been recently made by the speaker of the House,” she told reporters in Milwaukee. “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.”
