With US midterms weeks away, The Verge reports that polls predict Democrats will flip at least one chamber of Congress, putting committee leadership back in their hands and potentially ushering in new scrutiny of AI companies. Top Democrats on key committees have signaled willingness to press the industry on data-center tax credits and recent hacking incidents, and could set agendas, call CEOs to testify and demand internal documents if they take over. Democratic strategist Jesse Lehrich called AI an issue "a hundred percent ready for the taking," while a new super PAC, Tomorrow Together, launched a $4 million ad blitz in battleground House races focused on kids' online safety and data centers. The report also notes AI is not yet a top issue driving voters, and neither party has settled on specific policy lines.
