Sonnenfeld joined CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin on Monday to discuss a New York Times op-ed in which Sonnenfeld noted Trump’s lack of support among the CEOs he works with. Sonnenfeld is the senior associate dean for leadership at the Yale School of Management.

Sonnenfeld wrote in his op-ed:

I know this because I work with roughly 1,000 chief executives a year, running a school for them, which I started 35 years ago, and I speak with business leaders almost every day. Our surveys show that 60 to 70 percent of them are registered Republicans.

The reality is that the top corporate leaders working today, like many Americans, aren’t entirely comfortable with either Mr. Trump or President Biden. But they largely like — or at least can tolerate — one of them. They truly fear the other.

Sonnenfeld told Sorkin on Monday that roughly 70% of Fortune 500 CEOs are Republican, but that does not mean they will be supporting the former president, arguing his response to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and the 2017 Charlottesville Unite the Right rally lost him any chance of public support from these business leaders.

Good to hear. If these corporate douches are against Trump, that makes me feel better about my choice.

Anecdotal data from an Op-ed.....yeah.....

You single this out as a good thing? Oh how liberalism has fallen from where it use to be. Libs are literally touting how they got the backing of major corporations but still scream how they’re fight against corporations

Let me guess, OP actually believes that not a single Fortune 500 CEO supports Trump. I guess if that is what he was told....................

Another hard hitting bombshell.

And I don't believe for a minute that 70% of today's CEOs are Republicans. 30 years ago, yes. Maybe 20.
Fact is, a lot aren't even Americans as these are multi-national companies with leadership from around the world. And a European conservative would be a Clinton Democrat here.

This is great news, Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, kind of a silly thing to assert.

Especially when we know that Publix is in the Fortune 500 and they're run by notorious trump supporters.

I wish some people would actually think for themselves before posting stupid threads like this. It make everything else they post null and void, imo.

Normally a coin flip is a 50/50 proposition. In this case - there is a 100% probability of a correct answer.

not sure I believe the link in the OP

Yep. Either A) CEOs are supporting the Democratic Party, which isn’t something I want. The influence large corporations have on policy is a major reason why things are the way they are at the moment.

Or B) They’re lying because people are so damn wrapped up in identity politics, if a CEO says they support one side, the other will boycott them and no longer do business there. The left especially is bad about that.

Publix promptly distanced themselves from the statements made by the founder’s daughter and then condemned the January 6th insurrection.

Perhaps the company CEO is privately backing Trump but they certainly aren’t publicly backing him.

That being said, the assertion wasn’t mine, but the opinion of Jeffrey Sonnenfeld. I’d certainly believe there would be some exceptions but the story is the vast majority of the nation’s top CEO’s are not backing the candidate from what has traditionally been the party of big business.

Dont believe


Thats 500 votes. Democrats will fake 100 times that

Only prog filth jackasses care what a fortune 500 CEO thinks, cause a prog filth ******* needs someone to think for him.

Exactly.

This would actually be good news for the Republicans. Are the Democrats serving the CEOs, or the little guy they claim to be for. Either way we know the Democrats have their elite, you never hear that talked about tho. Their elite don't tell their mob that.
