What business leaders are saying days before the election

This is The Takeaway from today’s Morning Brief, which you can sign up to receive in your inbox every morning along with:

Election Day is almost here.

And with that will come an end (hopefully!) to one of the most divisive runs for the presidency in American history (or at least in my time on Earth).

America’s biggest businesses and their well-connected C-suite leaders will begin to get clarity on everything from tariffs (watch what Brooks Running CEO Dan Sheridan said on this front) to mergers and acquisitions to tax policy. Wall Street strategists, economists, and traders will be able to be more definitive in their calls for investors.

“I think regardless of the outcome, having the election behind us, we will, I think, put everyone’s mind at ease, and we’ll be able to get back to work and focus on moving forward together as a country,” Marriott chairman David Marriott said on Yahoo Finance’s Opening Bid podcast. “You hope and pray every day that our political leaders in this country can find a way to work together and work on solutions for the country and not be so bifurcated as we have been.”

Investors will be able to move on as well, hopefully putting more stock in a company’s fundamentals than a Trump post on Truth Social or a Musk post on X, formerly Twitter.

In the meantime, like you, we await the conclusion here at Yahoo Finance. Except to say we will have some stellar reporting from our newsroom across live programming, our new podcasts, and digital articles on Election Day, the day after, and the entire week.

Yours truly will be live on the Opening Bid podcast from the Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square with a great roundtable of guests on Wednesday morning, joined by my friends on the Capitol Gains podcast team. All that actionable investing insight kicks off at 8 a.m. ET on Yahoo Finance, YouTube, and major streaming platforms.

Our all-star live markets blog (found daily at the top of our homepage) will be up and running on Yahoo Finance around the clock on Election Day and right on into the next day. And we are coordinating with the Yahoo News team to provide relevant political and financial insights as results roll in on Election Day.

So use Yahoo Finance and the Yahoo ecosystem as your guide to business and markets in what will be a super busy week.

To that end, here’s what prominent names in the world of business have told me about potential tariffs and future regulation in the lead-up to Election Day.
