Biden's chips problem in Michigan

A Michigan company called Hemlock Semiconductor got the red carpet treatment from President Joe Biden back in 2022. As Biden stood outside the White House, he pledged the  CHIPS and Science Act would support Hemlock and other suppliers. But things haven’t fully panned out that way for Hemlock.

Host Steven Overly talks with reporter Christine Mui about the tensions over chips money. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
