Business sectors consider impact of Biden administration

President Biden’s inauguration and the new slim Democratic majority in Congress have together shuffled the political deck for America’s industries. The Washington Examiner reached out to a cross section of companies and industry associations to better understand which ones are likely to benefit and which will get dealt weaker hands.

The Democratic-controlled government has pledged to spend money on its priorities, such as infrastructure, healthcare, and green jobs. This unified government also promises a greater willingness to raise taxes to pay for new programs and to be more of an activist on the regulatory front. Many industries are either comfortable with that regulation or have decided to make the best of it.
