Could 'woke capitalism' be the next target of Republicans after the midterms?
As Republicans campaign to take back control of Congress in November’s midterm elections, analysts are offering forecasts for what a divided Washington would deliver.
“There will still be a window for some targeted legislating , but very little legislating will occur outside of the key deadlines.”‘Woke capitalism’ tends to be a term that critics use to refer to ESG measures ESGU, -0.68% ESGV, -0.99% in investing, meaning portfolios that are built around environmental, social and governance issues like climate change or diversity.
“In addition to investigations of the executive branch, congressional Republicans will likely hold hearings on the social-media industry SOCL, -0.88%, technology IYW, -0.86% and national security, as well as woke capitalism. Investors should expect significant pushback from Republicans against environmental, social and governance policies — both as mandated by government regulators and as self-imposed by the private sector,” Gardner said in a note earlier this month.
Influential Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York has pushed back on the use of the word “woke,” tweeting that it has become a derogatory term for “civil rights & justice” — and that “making up a ‘woke’ problem results in putting civil & voting rights on the backburner.” “You’re also going to see a lot of posturing and a lot of messaging bills where Republicans just try to put Democrats in a tough place looking to 2024. It’s hard to avoid thinking that that’s a lot of what a Republican Congress would end up doing,” Levin added.
