House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) handed his Democratic foes another last-minute gift on Friday by suggesting Republicans would try to repeal the CHIPS and Science Act.

Why it matters: Johnson quickly attempted to walk back the comments, but Democrats said it's too late for that — the damage is already done.

  • "This is really deadly for them in the Midwest. We have jobs being created every day by these new laws," one senior House Democrat told Axios.
  • The lawmaker added that there is "chatter among colleagues already" about incorporating the episode into their closing message and using it to argue "how little they care about ... older industrial cities."
Driving the news: Asked by reporters during a campaign stop in upstate New York on Friday if Republicans would try to repeal the CHIPS Act, Johnson replied, "I expect that we probably will."
