The global semiconductor shortage, which has paralyzed parts of the world economy for nearly a year, is only showing signs of worsening. The impact of the shortage is being felt across manufacturing and the global supply chain. It also threatens to affect America’s competitive edge in science and innovation. Meanwhile, consumers are also facing price increases and shortages of products from TVs and mobile phones to cars. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and Sen. Todd Young (R-Ind.) join Washington Post Live on Wednesday, Oct. 20 at 10:30 a.m. ET to explore this perfect storm of supply and demand and bipartisan ways to address the crisis.
