   It’s become a common occurrence: Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer posts a   
   light-hearted video on social media. She’s Christmas shopping, or she’s   
   talking about her Michigan accent or she’s touting her administration’s   
   accomplishments. And immediately, the comments start rolling in, all   
   demanding the same thing: Say no to data centers in the state. Stop   
   construction. “All I want for Christmas is legislation banning data   
   centers in Michigan.”   
      
   National figures in the party are beginning to notice the anger. What   
   began on the ground with widespread protests against the facilities that   
   provide infrastructure for the growth of artificial intelligence is   
   finding its way into new plans, memos and rhetoric as the Democratic   
   Party thinks about how to win in 2026 and 2028.
