6:32Now PlayingCould a single issue determine the fate of the U.S. Senate? Some residents of the Texas Hill Country think so. Voters in this deeply conservative, ruby red part of Texas are threatening to break with the GOP over a single issue: data centers. Some lifelong conservatives who feel betrayed by the Republican party say they will be voting for Democrats come November — including James Talarico who will face off against Trump-endorsed Ken Paxton, as Democrats attempt to reclaim a seat they haven’t held since 1993.
MS NOW's Josh Einiger traveled around the Lone Star state to speak to voters about the sudden uptick in data centers and the threat they pose to rural American’s way of life.
Clarification: One of the data centers featured in this piece is utilized for Bitcoin mining, the others are used for Generative AI.
