Building Data Centers Right

President Donald Trump came out in support of data centers, saying if the "right location" is picked, they can create jobs and lower taxes.

Infrastructure for the future economy is being built, but not in states controlled by the Democratic Party. Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) joined Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) this week in banning new data center construction. They join Democratic governors in 10 other states that have passed legislation or signed executive order

"The jobs are enormous and the money paid, the taxes paid, are just enormous," the President said.

“It is yet another dimension in which the White House appears tone deaf,” said James Henson of the Texas Politics Project at UT, Austin.

The president is convinced that data centers simply need a public relations boost — which he’s eager to provide, despite the public backlash.
