Trump keeps embracing data centers even as they become toxic in midterm races

The briefing

President Donald Trump continues to champion data centers even as candidates in both parties treat them as a liability in midterm races. The National Republican Senatorial Committee warned that Ohio Sen. Jon Husted is vulnerable over the issue, calling it a sleeper issue and an anchor around his neck. Opposition spans the political spectrum over electricity bills, water use and pollution, with candidates in Nevada, Texas and Wisconsin all distancing themselves or promising tougher regulation.
