Introducing From David’s Desk, a new newsletter penned by Carlyle Co-Founder and Co-Chairman David M. Rubenstein and other leaders across our firm. Each edition provides insights on public policy, geopolitics, and other topics in and around Washington, DC.
The Path to the Presidency
In this inaugural edition, David draws from his extensive experience in Washington to highlight the uncertainty surrounding the presidential race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, with polling data showing a near tie within the margin of error. Emphasizing the importance of swing states like Pennsylvania, he outlines critical efforts by both campaigns to secure votes, as well as reflects on potential Congressional outcomes and discusses the broader geopolitical and financial challenges the next administration will face.
