The data-center backlash is so fierce that Republican candidates are willing to cross Trump

Republican candidates in key midterm races are distancing themselves from President Trump's support for data centers amid growing local opposition. This shift reflects the significant backlash from communities concerned about environmental impacts and property values. While Trump has promoted data centers for their economic benefits, candidates are now prioritizing voter concerns, signaling a potential change in GOP policy focus ahead of the elections. This move could reshape the party's stance on infrastructure projects.
