America is now on the Move!

American voters have spoken and have selected their next president—now that the Republicans control the Senate, they are also controlling the house, the country’s powerful legislative chambers, the Senate and the House of Representatives, with big plans for American energy and policy changes for next year and beyond.

GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson said that his party would “probably” roll back the CHIPS and Science Act, a bipartisan 2022 law that has set aside $53 billion to companies producing semiconductors. Johnson, who made the comment in a central NY district that is receiving a new $100 billion Micron chip plant because of the law, walked it back and said the “CHIPS Act is not on the agenda for repeal.”

No incoming president has taken office without their party’s control of the House and Senate since George H.W. Bush in 1989. And that’s allowed them to enact hallmark legislation early into their terms—for instance, former President Trump’s tax cuts in 2017 and President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act in 2022.
