Vice President Kamala Harris is set to campaign in Michigan today, with a focus on the manufacturing industry as she aims to draw a contrast with former President Donald Trump. A campaign official revealed that Harris will kick off her visit at Hemlock Semiconductor in Saginaw, where she will tour the assembly line and engage with workers to underscore the significance of investing in US manufacturing jobs.
Last week, Hemlock Semiconductor secured a $325 million preliminary investment under the CHIPS and Science Act, a bipartisan legislation passed in 2022 during the Biden administration. This bill is designed to inject over $200 billion over five years into bolstering the US's position in chip manufacturing.
