Senate votes 73-25 to take up Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act on data center power costs
Senators voted 73-25 on the evening of November 9, 2026 to take up the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act, the page reports. The page says the bill requires AI companies and data center developers to pay for the power they use and for the grid upgrades they need.
Why it matters. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto said she would vote against final passage if Title III stays in, according to the page. The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act still needs a final Senate vote, House approval and President Trump's signature, the page reports.
