  • At the DealBook Summit, nine prominent political figures, advisers and journalists debated what drove Trump's victory and what it means for politics going forward. Here's what they said.

The article from The New York Times, published on December 18, 2024, discusses the evolving landscape of politics in the business world. It highlights how companies are increasingly navigating a politically charged environment where traditional bipartisan support is waning. Businesses are now forced to take stances on social and political issues, which can alienate parts of their customer base or employees. The piece explores how CEOs are becoming more vocal on issues like climate change, racial justice, and economic inequality, often aligning with one political side or the other. This shift is driven by demands from stakeholders for corporate responsibility and accountability. Additionally, the article touches on the rise of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investing, regulatory pressures, and how these factors are reshaping corporate strategies and public relations. It also notes the potential risks of politicization, including backlash from consumers and political figures, and the challenge of maintaining neutrality in an increasingly polarized society.
