“There is no way to sugarcoat that Democrats taking control, especially over the Senate, will create some major hurdles for AI and tech legislation in the Beltway over the next two years,” Dan Ives, managing partner of Yorkville Ives, said in a note on Wednesday.
“We estimate 10% of datacenters will not happen now,” Ives added in a post on X.
Democrats performed well in states where the AI buildout is pronounced, including Ohio, where Sherrod Brown flipped the Senate seat; Texas, where Democrats took a Senate seat with James Talarico; and the governor’s race, which Gina Hinojosa won, also flipping the seat.
