Claim 6: “New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is positioning herself as a leader of the Democratic search for a data center position that isn't explicitly anti-business.”
DISPUTED
The claim states Hochul is positioning herself as 'not anti-business' regarding data centers, but the evidence shows she has actually ordered a moratorium on AI data centers and signed an executive order halting state permitting for new large data centers, which is a restrictive (anti-business) action.
