GOP Warns Data Centers Are Politically Radioactive

“The Senate GOP campaign arm, in a private memo to top AI companies, warns that toxic views of U.S. data centers are killing the party’s chances of holding a vital seat in Ohio,” Axios reports.

“In the memo, the National Republican Senatorial Committee says Democrats have made data centers a ‘centerpiece’ of their campaign to defeat Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH) — and that it’s working.”

From the memo: “If he loses and data centers get the blame, politicians across the country will take notice — and they will not go near the next one. This has become a sleeper issue for the entire election cycle.”
