Extra: The Political Backlash Facing The AI Expansion

A recent Fox News Poll shows 67% of Americans oppose local AI data centers. With 1,500 new sites planned across 232 congressional districts, the boom is triggering a massive political and legal backlash.

On this FOX News Rundown Extra, we hear the full, unedited perspectives from both sides of the debate: Thomas Meyer of the Stop Data Centers Coalition on why residents are fighting back, and John Cofrancesco, founder of American AI Logistics, on why these facilities are vital to national security.

They both spoke to host Jessica Rosenthal recently on the weekday edition of the FOX News Rundown, but we had to make edits for time. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear more of their arguments about data centers and how they would address the concerns of communities upset about their construction.
