Today’s the day. Voters are heading to the polls to decide the next president, who will lead the country in shaping the next era of U.S. manufacturing.
Both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump say they’re committed to building the industry and its workforce in the coming years, with different strategies to do so.
Harris has touted the Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS and Science Act as forces for job creation and effective tools to build advanced manufacturing in the U.S. Trump has criticized both pieces of legislation and instead is pushing for the use of heavy tariffs to encourage domestic production.
