During an appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast two weeks ago, Trump called the CHIPS Act a “bad deal.” When Johnson was asked Friday whether he and Trump planned to repeal that program, the House speaker said that he expected they “probably will” try to repeal it, even though it wasn’t currently on their agenda.

House Speaker Mike Johnson took back a statement he made during a rally in Syracuse, New York, on Friday, suggesting that the CHIPS and Science Act could be repealed if the GOP wins full control of Washington.

The vice president called the GOP agenda “not popular,” even while acknowledging that Johnson walked back his comments on Friday.
