Trump told towns fighting AI data centers that blocking them costs jobs, tax money and growth. "If we kill the Golden Goose, you will only have yourselves to blame," he wrote.

House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said his party will run against building them without limits.

The trade group Build American AI has raised $50 million to fight back.
