- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social to slam state regulatory regimes for AI and wrote, `We MUST have one Federal Standard instead of a patchwork of 50 State Regulatory Regimes.`
- Amid legislative negotiations, the final bill stripped the anti-state-regulation clause after backlash from Republicans including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, removing a 10-year ban on state AI rules.

- The administration argued the federal approach can protect children and prevent censorship, following backlash over a bill limiting state regulators and affecting tech companies and AI firms.
- If federal preemption succeeds, it would reshape state regulatory power and how U.S. economic growth driven by AI investment balances against concerns over misuse and DEI initiatives.
