Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH) accused Senate Democrats of blocking bipartisan legislation intended to protect Americans from higher electricity costs associated with data centers, telling Breitbart News Saturday that lawmakers prioritized politics over affordability as he campaigns against former Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH).
In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle on Saturday, Husted said he developed the Ratepayer Protection Act while working with President Donald Trump “six months or nine months ago,” explaining that the legislation would require data centers to pay for electricity generation and infrastructure costs “so that the bill is not passed on to ratepayers.”
Husted said the legislation would “save them money” and “lower the local electrical rates,” pointing to the measure’s overwhelming bipartisan support in the House.
“This bill passed House 417 to three, 206 Democrats voted for it. Hakeem Jeffries and AOC voted for it. So did the Freedom Caucus. Okay, everybody’s for it,” Husted said.
“Comes back over to the Senate. Democrats don’t even need to vote for it. They just need to not block it. They block it,” he continued.
Husted argued that Senate Democrats prevented the legislation from advancing because they did not want Republicans to secure a victory on affordability ahead of the November midterm elections.

President Trump is effectively getting the message out to his supporters that if the democrats win the midterms, the border will opened back up and America will once again be flooded with illegal aliens, many of them violent criminals
the crazed deranged left becomes violent when they think they are losing
if they, the democrats, win both the house and the senate, they can impeach Trump, but this time they can also easily remove Trump from office because they will also have the votes in the senate to remove him
