Sen. Schumer Introduces Bill to Boost U.S. Manufacturing and Raise Export-Import Bank Lending to $205 Billion
The Make More in America Act of 2026 is currently in the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs for review. It was recently introduced and is waiting for the committee to decide on its next steps. There are no upcoming votes scheduled at this time.
While the bill has powerful support from Senate leadership, it currently lacks Republican cosponsors and faces a divided Congress where the Export-Import Bank is often a controversial topic.
By incentivizing domestic manufacturing growth, the bill could indirectly create more stable, well-paying full-time employment opportunities as an alternative to gig work. Projects must demonstrate job quality through higher-than-median wages and benefits, potentially drawing workers away from less stable arrangements.
