- National Republican Senatorial Committee sent a private memo to top AI companies warning that toxic views of U.S. data centers are killing the party's chances of holding a vital seat in Ohio.
- Axios obtained the memo, in which the NRSC says Democrats have made data centers a central line of political attack.
Why it matters: The NRSC is now lobbying AI companies directly to counter a specific Democratic attack line, meaning data center siting and energy use have become a measurable electoral liability — not just a regulatory issue — for at least one competitive Senate seat.
