Similar to the IRA, o1 estimates that over half of the benefits go to red areas. “Determining precisely what share of CHIPS Act–related investments will land in “red” (Republican-leaning) vs. “blue” (Democratic-leaning) areas is tricky, partly because several major projects are in states that have recently shifted or are considered “purple” (e.g., Arizona, Ohio). However, based on publicly announced semiconductor-fab expansions (Intel, TSMC, Samsung, Micron, Texas Instruments, and others), a reasonable ballpark is that roughly half to slightly over half—around 50–60%—of the projected investment is going into Republican-leaning states.”

No pls no :(((((
