Following the results of the midterm elections in the United States, Democrats are shaping a new legislative agenda. According to reports in TheMarker, the party plans to promote a series of bills starting in January aimed at increasing oversight of artificial intelligence (AI) giants and data centers. The move comes amid growing concerns among investors regarding potential strict regulation of technology infrastructure.

Simultaneously, according to The Jerusalem Post, Democratic Senator Ron Wyden stated that there is broad party support for repealing tariffs imposed on Canada, and that discussions have begun regarding a legislative strategy on the matter. Further details on the planned legislative procedures have not yet been released.
