Deep dives
CEOs Considering Trump for Economic Stability
CEOs of major corporations, including Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan, are leaning towards the idea of a second Trump presidency for economic stability. Dimon highlighted Trump's successes in NATO, immigration, economic growth, tax reform, and China policies. The fear of a potential Biden presidency stems from concerns about protectionist economic policies impacting global trade. Elon Musk and Lloyd Blankenfeld are among those expressing reservations about Biden's policies.
Biden Expanding Job Protections for Federal Bureaucrats
The Biden administration is implementing a new rule to enhance job protections for federal bureaucrats, making it harder for a future president to dismiss them. This aims to counter Trump's agenda of streamlining the administrative state. Trump's plan to reintroduce Schedule F, allowing easier firing of federal employees, faces challenges under Biden's new rule. Biden's focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in federal agencies contrasts with Trump's anti-bureaucracy stance.
Harvard's DEI Advocate Involvement in Choosing New President
Harvard University, after controversy involving Claudine Gay, appoints DEI advocate Vivian Hunt to aid in selecting the next president. Hunt's advocacy for diversity targets aligns with her role in decision-making. Harvard's reputation faces challenges with decreasing donations and applications, attributed to issues like responses to conflicts and discrimination. The recruitment of Hunt signals Harvard's focus on DEI efforts amidst ongoing criticisms.
CEOs may prefer Trump to Biden, new rules protect federal workforce, and Harvard picks a DEI activist for new president search. Get the facts first with Morning Wire.
