US Democrats attack GOP over AI data centers while taking millions from industry.
During the midterm elections, Democrats attacked Republicans for accepting donations related to the booming artificial intelligence data center industry. But a new investigation by Sledge finds that Democrats are also taking millions from the same industry.
According to Sludge, House Majority PAC, a powerful outside spending group linked to the Democratic leadership, received more than $10 million from donors financially tied to data center development. They include a Microsoft executive, AMDs CEO, and president of a company developing a $4 billion data center campus in Texas.
It comes as communities across the country face rising utility bills, massive infrastructure demands and environmental concerns surrounding the rapid expansion of AI data center facilities.
The PAC has run ads in at least nine congressional races accusing Republicans of serving data center interests at the expense of ordinary people, and rightly so.
