Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) cheered the Senate\u2019s decision Tuesday to remove a provision<\/a> from Republicans\u2019 sweeping tax bill that would have barred states from regulating artificial intelligence (AI), calling it a \u201chuge win for federalism.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite initially voting for the House version of the bill containing the AI moratorium, Greene has since become a vocal opponent<\/a> of the measure, arguing it violates states\u2019 rights. <\/p>\n

\u201cI told the White House I couldn\u2019t support the One Big Beautiful Bill with the AI moratorium inside,\u201d she wrote Tuesday on the social platform X, shortly before the Senate sent the tax package back to the House.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBanning states from regulating AI for 10 years is a gift to Big Tech and a disaster for American workers and states\u2019 rights,\u201d Greene continued. \u201cThanks to Senator @MarshaBlackburn, we got it OUT. That\u2019s a huge win for federalism and the America First agenda.\u201d <\/p>\n

She offered her thanks to Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) for spearheading the amendment that ultimately removed the measure early Tuesday. <\/p>\n

\u201cI just want to thank Sen. Marsha Blackburn,\u201d Greene told former White House aide Steve Bannon in a clip shared alongside her comments. \u201cShe did an incredible job. She has not had any sleep yet. She stayed up all night long fighting to get the AI moratorium out, and I\u2019m really grateful for her fight.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI had told the White House I couldn\u2019t for it,\u201d she said. \u201cThere\u2019s no way I can destroy states\u2019 rights, and there\u2019s no way I can let AI have free rein and the potential destruction that it could have for 10 years without states being able to protect themselves and the people that live there and their jobs and their children.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The removal of the AI provision marked a sharp reversal, as the measure appeared poised to sail forward after Blackburn struck a deal<\/a> with Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee Chair Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on new language late Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The updated provision barred states from regulating AI for five years, down from 10 years, and featured exemptions for child online safety and publicity rights. <\/p>\n

However, Blackburn pulled her support<\/a> Monday evening, saying the new language was still \u201cnot acceptable.\u201d She instead offered up an amendment to strip the AI moratorium from the GOP\u2019s reconciliation bill, which passed 99-1 early Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cruz lamented on the Senate floor that their agreement was \u201cset to pass\u201d and Trump was on board, but \u201coutside interests opposed the deal.\u201d He got behind Blackburn\u2019s amendment, acknowledging that \u201cmany of my colleagues would prefer not to vote on this matter.\u201d   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
