The Chamber of Commerce hedges its bets
Episode description
For decades, the US Chamber of Commerce has primarily fought to get Republicans in power to keep a business-friendly government. But in 2020, the lobbying group is looking to hedge their bets and back some Democratic candidates, even if it means breaking with some in the oil industry. POLITICO’s Ben Lefebvre and Zack Colman, on how the Chamber is picking their endorsements, and how they are rattling the oil industry’s interests.
