The Capitol is seen under early morning skies in Washington, Thursday, Dec. 20, 2018.

The House is expected to vote before Friday's deadline, when funding for a portion of the government expires. Without resolution, more than 800,000 federal workers would face furloughs or be forced to work without pay, disrupting government operations days before Christmas. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)

Construction continues on the Wolfspeed factory in Siler City, N.C., on March 26, 2024. The new factory will soon produce advanced wafers for computer chips. Automaker Vinfast is scheduled to open a factory next year. Both projects stem in large part from incentives that Biden signed into law.
