Trump, Biden will struggle to 'speak over the headwinds'

In This Article:

Donald Trump was convicted on all 34 felony charges in his long-fought hush money trial. 22V Senior Managing Director and Head of Washington Policy Research Kim Wallace joins Morning Brief to discuss the implications of this verdict for markets and elections.

Wallace believes that Trump's conviction will not significantly impact each presidential candidate's economic policy stance "much at all." He notes that there is still ample time remaining before the election, meaning "a lot of chum in the water" concerning policy proposals. However, Wallace acknowledges that "it's going to be a very loud summer" in the wake of Trump's verdict.

"The president's team is hoping that their economic message prevails over the headlines about inflation," Wallace states. "It's very difficult for either campaign to speak over the impediments or the headwinds that they're facing."
