Trump’s data center defense
About this episode
The episode discusses Trump's views on data centers and features a conversation about moderate Democrats and the upcoming Republican Midterm Convention.
President Donald Trump called data centers the “Golden Goose,” even as they hang like an albatross around the necks of Republicans facing a tough election season. So Playbook's Megan Messerly found out why. Later, Dasha Burns joins alongside JMart to discuss his latest excursion to Vacationland for a sit-down with Sen. Susan Collins, before digging into the moderate Democrats clapping back at Sen. Bernie Sanders. Plus, Playbook looks ahead to the first ever Republican Midterm Convention.
