Business leaders still expect Donald Trump to win in November.
“They still want a Trump presidency and think it’s going to happen. There’s a lot of negativity in the polls and a Harris win is definitely not priced in. A lot of Wall Street participants are really hoping to see Trump back in the White House,” said Tina Fordham, a senior adviser to the company.
US business leaders are “in denial” about Vice President Kamala Harris’ growing lead over Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, according to executive advisor Tina Fordham. Fordham said on Thursday that her clients are still betting big money on Harris’ return.
Fordham, founder of strategy consulting firm Fordham Global Foresight, told CNBC that his client base of institutional investors, board members and C-suite executives continue to see Trump as the more pro-business candidate and preferred choice.

Nate Silver recently pointed out that polls “have been wrong before” and that they “underestimated Trump in both of the last two general elections.”
Polling and data expert Nate Silver said Wednesday that Vice President Kamala Harris has a slight chance of winning if the presidential election were held tomorrow, but he warned people not to place too much reliance on polls, citing their “wrong” record when it comes to former President Trump.
“If there was an election tomorrow … I think Harris would have a slight advantage,” Silver said on “Special Report” on Wednesday. “She’s leading in recent polls in ‘blue wall’ states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona and Nevada, all of which are polls within the margin of error.”
“But people should remember two things,” he added. “One, we’ve got three months left. There will be more surprises. And two, polls have been wrong before. In the last two general elections, polls underestimated Trump.”
