Trump's Ohio rally gets quiet after he defends data centers -- a toxic political issue with bipartisan opposition. 'You can't just turn them off' | Fortune

Donald Trump’s Ohio rally cooled after he defended data centers, an issue drawing bipartisan opposition nationwide. While Trump said the facilities should “benefit local communities” and warned, “You can’t just turn them off. They’ll go to China,” the crowd response to the data center remarks was reportedly quieter than during other parts of the speech. The article links the controversy to concerns about impacts on electricity prices, farmland and water, with Ohio becoming a focal point due to attacks on Republican Sen. Jon Husted, the lieutenant governor involved in attracting data centers. Trump is also launching a 32-day push ahead of Nov. 3 elections, hitting deep red states such as Texas, Oklahoma and Alabama before turning to Ohio, where Husted aims to win the seat outright and Democrats say control of the Senate likely hinges on flipping Ohio.
