The ongoing contentious debate around data center development is not solely falling along partisan lines.

The latest example is U.S. Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., backing President Donald Trump’s support of the industry.

On Monday, Trump posted on social media expressing his support for data center development across the United States.

“The only reason that communities throughout the U.S.A. should not want Data Centers is if they want to end up being backwards and poor,” Trump wrote. “If they want to be successful and rich, with far lower taxes and jobs all over the place, let Data Reign.”

“The good news is that there are plenty of other places that want them. If we kill the Golden Goose, you will only have yourselves to blame,” the president continued. “China could not be happier with this anti Data Center movement. Actually, they can’t believe it is happening! President DJT.”

Just a few hours later, Fetterman shared a screenshot of an article from Bloomberg headlined “Trump says ‘let data reign’ in response to data center blowback,” saying that he agreed with the president.

“We must win the war for AI supremacy over China. They foment the ‘anti’ argument through misinformation,” Fetterman wrote on social media. “There’s nothing more damaging to a Democrat than agreeing with Trump AND data centers—but what’s right is right.”

On Aug. 10, Axios reported that U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders was calling for a pause in AI development.
