The giants of the US economy are turning their backs on President Donald Trump. Four multinationals, including corporations and investment banks, have decided to freeze money earmarked for politics, particularly to Republicans, over the next six months. The decision is the first severe reaction after the failed coup and the Conservative campaign to block Joe Biden’s declaration as the new president of the United States. JPMorgan Chase & Co., the largest bank in the United States, has announced that it will stop donating its employees. Among the multinationals that joined the protest were insurance group Blue Cross Blue Shield, Citibank and the international hotel chain Marriott, which announced a moratorium on donations to Republican representatives in the House and Senate who objected to constituency results in favor of Biden. The decision will affect seven members of the Senate and more than a hundred members of the House of Representatives. The situation, according to the Wall Street Journal, could lead to a ripple effect from other multinationals, giving a strong signal of condemnation to those who have attempted to undermine democracy in the United States. Some CEOs of major corporations demonstrated the decision to withdraw traditional donations. According to Forbes, other US economic giants are studying similar initiatives, from Ford Motor Co to Bank of America, from AT&T phone company to Exxon Mobil, Target supermarket chain and CVS pharmacy chain.
