Senior aides use the ratings to vet corporate appeals as future grades will include companies’ advocacy on additional administration priorities.

Overview

  • The spreadsheet ranks 553 companies and trade groups as strong, moderate or low supporters based on public engagement with the July tax and spending package.
  • Metrics include social media posts, press releases, video testimonials, advertisements and attendance at White House events tied to the legislation.
  • Circulated among senior staff, the ratings serve as a reality check when evaluating corporate requests and lobbyist claims of backing.
  • Axios reported that Uber, DoorDash, United Airlines, Delta, AT&T, Cisco, Airlines for America and the Steel Manufacturers Association are listed as “strong” supporters.
  • The White House describes the document as evolving and intends to expand it to other policy initiatives, prompting scrutiny over executive monitoring of private-sector behavior.
