Fetterman breaks with progressive allies again, backs Trump's AI agenda and warns China gains from U.S. delay
Sen. John Fetterman is siding with the Trump administration on artificial intelligence development, rejecting calls from his own party's left flank to slow down, and warning that every delay hands China a strategic advantage.The Pennsylvania Democrat posted on X over the weekend dismissing what he called "AI doomsdaying," sharing a Bloomberg analysis that examined the narrowing U.S. lead over China in AI and the faster pace at which Chinese companies are deploying advanced models. His message was blunt: pulling back on AI development and data center construction doesn't protect Americans, it helps Beijing.
Fox News Digital reported that Fetterman wrote on X:
"AI supremacy and energy dominance underpins our national security. China continues to fuel and benefit from our overreaction. I reject the political pandering and hyperbole over data centers or AI doomsdaying."That stance puts Fetterman squarely alongside President Trump, who days earlier encouraged governors and local officials at the White House to welcome AI data center construction in their communities.
It also widens the gap between Fetterman and the progressive wing of his own party, a gap that has been growing for months across multiple issues.
