Some days its seems like it’s becoming a one-issue election.

Data centers: support them or oppose them?

Just look at the political ads and maneuvers of 2026 and 2028 contenders like Josh Shapiro, Tom Tiffany, and others. The debate over data centers—and the broader questions surrounding AI, energy, jobs, and the cost of living—is quickly becoming impossible for candidates to ignore.

Hyma Moore and Beverly Hallberg joined me on “2WAY Tonight” to take on the latest twists and turns as the rubber (policy) meets the road (voters).

We also offer our latest quick-ish takes on Ohio, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, and Texas.

Because no matter who you listen to, Americans are focused on the issues that affect their lives: data centers, AI, and the ever-present question of how much it costs to put dinner on the table. Anyone running for office needs to understand those concerns—and clearly explain what they would do to make life better.

Don’t miss this one.
