Trump Defends AI Data Centers at Ohio Rally for Husted
Published
President Donald Trump defended artificial-intelligence data centers at a Saturday evening rally in Vandalia, Ohio, where he campaigned for Republican Senator Jon Husted. He praised Husted's unsuccessful effort to advance legislation addressing the electricity costs of large data centers and argued that rejecting the facilities would send investment to China. Husted faces Democratic former Senator Sherrod Brown in the November 3 election. His Ratepayer Protection Act would require utility regulators to consider standards making large electricity users cover associated infrastructure costs; it failed to advance in the Senate on September 30.
