Sitting RNC member breaks with Trump on data centers
An anti-data center bus tour traversing key midterm states will add another complication for Republican candidates in tight races.
A Georgia RNC member, Amy Kremer, is spearheading an "AI Data Center Revolt" bus tour that aims to challenge Republican candidates who support President Trump's stance on AI infrastructure. Kremer, who is also a pro-Trump political activist, is the chair of Humans First, a group focused on the risks of AI. The bus tour, launching at this week's Republican National Convention in Dallas, Texas, will travel through key midterm states including Texas, Ohio, Iowa, Georgia, and North Carolina.
These states are seen as crucial for Republicans to maintain Senate control in November and are also hotbeds for debates surrounding data centers. The tour comes as Trump continues to champion AI infrastructure, despite growing opposition from voters. Kremer, while remaining a staunch supporter of Trump, emphasizes that decisions about data center construction should be made locally, not by the federal government.
