GOP Insider Predicts Trump Will Shift on AI Data Center Policy After Hearing from Voters on Midterm Trail
Amy Kremer, a Republican National Committee member and close Trump ally, has predicted that President Trump will change his position on AI data center expansion after hearing from voters during midterm campaign appearances. Kremer is the founder of "Humans First," a political group calling for an "America First approach to AI" that emphasizes community control, transparency, and ratepayer protections. The group unveiled a policy outline at the GOP's midterm convention in Dallas urging the president and Republican lawmakers to adopt new guardrails on data center development.

Amy Kremer, a founding figure of the modern Tea Party movement and Republican National Committee member, told Fox News Digital that she believes Trump is currently "only hearing one side of the story from big tech" on the question of AI data center expansion. She predicted the president's position would shift once he takes to the midterm campaign trail and hears more directly from affected communities.
Trump has publicly stated that any governor or local official should welcome the construction of AI data centers, framing data center development as central to American leadership in technology. Kremer said she supports that goal but argued that innovation and safety are "not mutually exclusive," pushing back on what she described as a narrative that innovation requires foregoing safety.
The "Humans First" policy plan, obtained by Fox News Digital, calls for greater local control over data center siting through zoning and land-use processes. It opposes the use of eminent domain for land seizures and rejects federal or state efforts to strip communities of approval authority. The plan also opposes a federal data center moratorium, which some opponents of AI development have called for.
