Some business leaders and wealthy donors are hopeful that Harris will adopt more centrist policies as she outlines her agenda, especially by dialing back Biden-era antitrust crackdowns.
“CEOs are wildly excited about Harris,” Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, founder and president of the Yale Chief Executive Leadership Institute, told CNN in a phone interview.
Sonnenfeld pointed to confidence that Harris will protect the rule of law and hopes for recalibrated trade, regulatory and tax policies.
Meanwhile, Harris, somewhat of an unknown commodity on business policy, hasn’t said much about where she stands.
Another key sticking point is energy, where Trump has tried to blame the Biden-Harris administration for periods of high gas prices.
