Midterm elections 2026: all the news

Tech industry concerns include data center costs, AI safety, surveillance tech expansion, and tax policies in California. The outcome will influence how the next Congress regulates AI and data centers, and which tech CEOs will testify on Capitol Hill. A California ballot measure, Proposition 45, could give data center developers a loophole to evade public scrutiny if passed.
