Top Wall Street CEOs cooling on Kamala Harris as Donald Trump’s polling numbers surge
New York Post ^ | Oct. 26, 2024 | Charles Gasparino

If you noticed, some of the biggest names in finance are starting to run away from their initial support of Kamala Harris.

It’s not that they’ve seen the light and are ready to embrace Donald Trump’s MAGA agenda.

Rather they’ve seen the poll numbers (they pay up for the real ones the public isn’t privy to) and they’re slowly coming to terms that the sometimes crass, often indicted Trump might just be winning this race against Harris for the White House.

And they’re scared.

That’s the assessment from my sources at top Wall Street firms who witnessed interesting 180s at two of the most prestigious banks: Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan, run by David Solomon and Jamie ­Dimon, respectively.

Both high-profile and globalist CEOs seemed to be cozying up to Harris not long after party apparatchiks booted the barely sentient Joe Biden from the top of the Democratic ticket.

The only way that businesses stop siding with radicals is if they pay the price financially for supporting them. That means the business leaders and shareholders together. The Left could care less if businesses squirms when they push their social agenda (that’s why we’re in the state we’re in). It’s time that the Right broaden its party with blue-collar voters and then tighten the screws on the Leftists.

Take them as seriously as a “fan” who buys a team jersey when his team gets into the playoffs. To mix my metaphors, they are not having a road to Damascus conversion.

When Kamala said she would go after grocery stores to stop ‘price gouging’ Wall Street got the vapors ... yep, Kamala’s nuts. That’s the point Wall Street started turning away from democrats and their idiots. (useful or not)

She’s not going to do anything to help businesses or our economy in general...but the real problem is that she is too stupid and undereducated to even understand it.

The Dems put her up there after they snatched Wicked Grampa, probably thinking that she would just deliver Obama’s message and not object to anything.

But she’s too nutty even to do that.

Correct. With rare exceptions, businessmen tend to be transactional about politics, shallow in their understanding of issues and events outside of their business sector, and not very perceptive about public sentiment and broad political trends. Wall Street prefers Democrats these days, so Harris was their gal, the assumption being that, with enough cash and media help, she would win.

Now Wall Street is realizing to their distress that Trump is gaining strength and is likely to return to the White House, so accommodations and adjustments have to be made. America's titans of finance are calling their Washington lobbyists, reaching for their checkbooks and contact lists, and trying to figure out a way into Trump's good graces if he wins. And it is beginning to dawn on them that in a nonconsecutive second term, Trump will be savvier and harder to manage or control than he would have been if he had won reelection in 2020.

Wall Street is very good at crunching numbers.

They know what the early voting numbers mean:

Those are not polls—those are actual early voting numbers by party registration—much more reliable than polls.

They are like Muslim warlords. Always pretend you are on the side of the “strong horse.”

This time, we won't see guys from the Swamp working for him. Expect all the appointees to be from outside the Swamp.

Exactly. Now he has Musk, RFK Jr, and Tulsi.

They’ll support the ‘impeachment-personal destruction’ process that will start on Minute One after Trump wins election, just like last time.

Trump’s plans for economy don’t fit in with the global exploitation processes.

Political specialists mostly discount early voting as a predictive indicator of election outcomes. Party registration trends are a better marker. Internal campaign and political party tracking polls are considered the best for predictions and strategic choices because they show trends and detailed demographics in the context of campaign effort.

My surmise is that Wall Street is getting a fairly good view of the internal polls and strategic thinking from both sides. As you suggest, Wall Street understands numbers and trend analysis enough to realize that Trump seems to be closing in for the win.

It is not early voting itself that is a great predictor.

It is early voting plus analysis of who voted early (presented by the Pew poll of a sort not traditionally available in previous races) that makes it the best predictor of this particular race.

This year really is different—and the pundits have not caught up yet.

The poll identified who said they would vote early (by mail and in person) so we have something to work with—for a change.

The inherent problem with early voting as a predictor is that to a large degree it comes at the expense of absentee and election day voting. Until the election is over and detailed statistical analysis completed, it is hard to know for sure if a campaign is attracting more voters more than their competition.

I am going to be making very precise calls on all key states this year based on the Pew data—and we will see how I do.

That is the only way to know if the methodology works as I think it does.

The University of Florida Election Lab website has additional early voting data that you may find helpful.

Thanks. I am bookmarking that. It has most of the data.
On a couple of states I have to go to state sites as well for party registration info.

This is vastly different than ‘16. Most continued to support Hillary long after her defeat.
This time the $$$ is drying up for the RATS.
