The lion's share of political contributions from Wall Street firms and their top executives have gone to Democratic presidential candidates for decades (while their media mouthpieces pretend otherwise). They would much prefer to work as crony capitalists with a Democrat administration. They don't particularly care for the prospect of a Sanders or a Warren in the White House, so they would prefer a more "traditional" Democrat instead, e. g., Biden or Bloomberg.
And they're not above causing a market price downturn for a brief period before the election in order to hurt Trump's chances, while the media sounds like the Trump is the second coming of Herbert Hoover. They are so well-heeled that they can withstand a short market downside and come up smelling like roses when the bull market resumes after a traditional Democrat is elected. At least that's what they may be thinking and planning.
It’s why they liked Hillary. They want someone with only 51 cards in the deck who’ll follow instructions. Biden fits the mold, even if he is a corrupt, hair-sniffing creep.
I believe they did this prior to the 2018 mid-term election.

Execs are disproportionately NOT interested in becoming paid lackeys of the gubmint, rather the reverse -- but there's a small loud bunch of college-miseducated leftie pinheads who don't care about their fiduciary responsibilities. Best use for them is dusting the exteriors of the windows on their way down.
