24 House Republicans break with leadership, vote with Democrats to pass chip bill
Source: ABC News
Another major legislative win for Democrats came Thursday, when -- over Republican objections of "corporate welfare" -- a bipartisan group in the House passed a bill that funds the nation’s science and technology industries with billions to boost domestic production of crucial semiconductor chips and additional research and development.
The bill cleared the chamber in a 243-187 vote (with one "present" vote) despite late-hour pushes from GOP leadership against the legislation. Twenty-four Republicans joined Democrats in backing the measure, which now heads to the White House for President Joe Biden's signature.
One lawmaker, Rep. Sara Jacobs, D-Calif., whose grandfather Irwin Jacobs founded semiconductor manufacturer Qualcomm, voted "present."
“If you want to know who hates this bill, who lobbies against it -- the Chinese Communist Party. Why? Because they know it'll help us compete against them," Rep. Mike McCaul of Texas, the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and a major advocate of the package, told reporters while criticizing fellow Republicans for opposing the bill.

Good that it wasn't a deciding vote, since only Democrats even think like this. 
She's quite liberal on the issues https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sara_Jacobs
If anyone was wondering, Bernie Sanders is the one Dem who voted against it in the Senate.
I have the highest respect for Rep. Jacobs for voting present because of ethics, and of course, she's a Democrat.
But hey 
the more the merrier.
