Weekly Washington Policy Pulse: What Does Trump Do After the Midterms? (November 9, 2026)

 

A look at President Donald Trump's agenda -- his primary focus, his statements on working with the Democrats as well as using his veto powers -- led the Nov. 9 Bloomberg Intelligence Washington Policy Pulse. In the coming months, Trump will likely focus on areas of policy that have more presidential control -- such as tariffs and geopolitical matters -- rather than working with the Democrats. We also discussed the upcoming lame-duck period and reiterated our call that the GOP has a 30% chance of completing a reconciliation bill that provides funds for Iran and farm aid. Finally, we discussed upcoming proposals we anticipate from banking regulators, key for the investment banks such as Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs as well as regional bansk PNC Financial and Truist.

The Bloomberg Intelligence Financial Policy weekly call is designed to provide investors an opportunity to learn about the most recent relevant policy research, information regarding forthcoming political catalysts and other on-goings within Washington DC.  

The call is open to all and is held every Monday at 10:00 a.m. EST. You can register for the call here: https://bloomberg.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__PqCkwY-S2m3hbQqvVC1_Q#/registration
