Morning Consult political analyst Eli Yokley provided a pre-election briefing connecting the House and Senate outlook to the pressures businesses could face next. In this presentation, we cover the electoral scenarios and voter priorities shaping the next Congress, where concerns about costs and corporate conduct could fuel scrutiny across industries and what Americans expect from companies—and what that means for executive communications.
