Washington di bawah kepemimpinan Donald Trump akan dipenuhi oleh para pebisnis besar seperti Elon Musk, Scott Bessent, dan Howard Lutnick. Mereka semua memiliki jalur dalam.
Will the Chamber even get a seat at the table? Tidak, kecuali seseorang dapat memperbaiki perseteruan mereka baru-baru ini dengan Partai Republik. So how do you fix that?
Semuanya dimulai dengan pelobi yang baik. Seseorang yang bisa membuka pintu, meningkatkan ego, dan mengisi meja di Capital Grille. Dan di situlah peran mantan anggota Kongres Rodney Davis.
Davis, yang menjabat di DPR dari tahun 2013 hingga 2023, telah diberi tugas besar: mengembalikan kesombongan DPR. Persuade his old Republican colleagues in Congress to forget — or at least forgive — their recent grudges against the Chamber, and instead recall their shared priorities, of which there are many.
Playbook co-author Rachael Bade spoke with Davis in an interview for the Playbook Deep Dive podcast on Thursday to find out how exactly he’s going to do this. In many ways, he rejected the premise, but shared telling details about how the business community is advancing its priorities in Trump’s new Washington — including what they’d like to see in a reconciliation bill — and what relationships are the most valuable for notching wins di Kongres baru dan di Gedung Putih.
