In this week's Global Macro Update, I talk with Bruce Mehlman, one of Washington’s sharpest political strategists. We dive deep into the recent government shutdown—why it happened, who won, and what it means for investors. Bruce also breaks down the Democratic sweep in November’s off-year elections, the AI bubble, and the economic tailwinds Wall Street is ignoring: massive foreign investment commitments, banking deregulation, and surprisingly strong corporate earnings. We also discuss the K-shaped economy that’s dividing America, why inflation remains the single most powerful political issue, and what deregulation really means for investors. Finally, Bruce pulls out his crystal ball for predictions on the 2026 midterms and who’s positioning for 2028 presidential runs on both sides.
