Democrats bet on AI crackdown to win midterms

Democrats hope to retake Congress in November and turn voter anxiety about AI into a wave of scrutiny for the industry. The Tomorrow Together super PAC launched a $4 million ad blitz, while governors Newsom and Shapiro have hardened their stances on AI and data centers.

• Tomorrow Together super PAC spent $4 million on ads attacking Republicans over AI
• Pro-AI group Leading the Future has spent nearly $45 million, with $31 million left
• Gavin Newsom ordered work on an AI 'kill switch'
• Democrats could summon AI CEOs to testify if they win committee control
