More data center companies support Texas audits as President Trump criticizes pause

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has directed a comprehensive audit of data center projects, halting new grid connections until the review is complete. Several major data center companies, including Skybox, Digital Realty, and QTS, have expressed support for the audits. However, the Texas House Democratic Campaign Committee has called for a special session to enact a full development halt, while former President Donald Trump criticized Texas's pause on data centers, emphasizing their economic importance.
