AI data centers have become an election issue in the United States, amid concerns about rising electricity bills, water and land use, and the limited number of permanent jobs they create, while companies receive tax breaks. A poll found that 54% of Republicans, 69% of Democrats, and 53% of independents oppose new centers being built near them. Meanwhile, 41 initiatives to restrict or regulate data centers will be put forward in 38 districts across ten states. Public pressure has led Republican candidates, including Vivek Ramaswamy in Ohio, to call for conditions to protect consumers and resources, while political consultants have urged candidates to avoid unqualified support for expansion. Despite the opposition, the capacity of data centers under construction in the country rose by 48% between December 2025 and June 2026.
