Democrats eye AI regulation as path to congressional edge in midterms

With polls predicting Democrats could flip at least one chamber of Congress this November, top party leaders are positioning AI as a key campaign issue. If they gain control, committee chairs would gain subpoena power to summon CEOs and demand documents on data center tax credits and recent hacking incidents. A new super PAC, Tomorrow Together, has launched a $4 million ad blitz in battleground House races, attacking Republicans as out of touch on AI, focusing on issues like online safety for children and data center energy demands.
