“Red, White and Who?” The Journal’s election mini-series is back to cover the midterms. Every Wednesday for the next five weeks, Ryan Knutson (wsj.com/news/author/ryan-knutson?mod=WSJ_TJPOD) talks with reporters around the country about issues important to voters.

This week: in Ohio,a backlash against AI data centers (wsj.com/politics/policy/the-great-bipartisan-d…) is scrambling old political loyalties. WSJ’s Cameron McWhirter (wsj.com/news/author/cameron-mcwhirter?mod=WSJ_…)and producer Matt Kwong (wsj.com/news/author/matt-kwong?mod=WSJ_TJPOD) travel across the state, where some Republicans say the issue is changing how they view the Senate race between Democrat Sherrod Brown and Republican Jon Husted.
