What was said

"My party is driving for a moratorium for data centers. Like, I mean, do you think China doesn't love that? You know, again, that's why they're parts behind some of the driving this view. You want to give that race to China?"

Senator McCormick revealed at an event that the United States maintains only a 6 to 8 month advantage over China in AI development. Fetterman referenced this timeline when criticizing Democratic calls for a data center moratorium, arguing it would hand China victory in the AI race.
