Data centres are turning Trump voters into Democrats

Original: Data Centers Are Turning Trump Voters into Democrats

New analysis suggests that the rapid build-out of data centres in American communities is shifting political allegiances, with some residents who previously backed Donald Trump now leaning Democratic. The reported driver appears to be local backlash over energy costs, water use, land and noise linked to large-scale AI and cloud infrastructure projects, turning data-centre expansion into an electoral issue in Republican-leaning areas.

Why now: Data-centre growth for AI has become a politically charged local issue ahead of upcoming US elections.
