Presumably for many in this crowd, their decision to back Trump/Biden will hinge on their expectations of the 2017 tax cut expiring. In 2020 the monied class could vote for Biden knowing their tax cut would persist for at least 7 years. Biden has now pledged to raise rate significantly for those making more than 400k and raise corporate taxes among others. That said, it's a pretty small slice of the electorate, but turnout in this group is also probably v high. Don't ever sell financial self-interest short.
There is a clear choice between Trump and Biden as regards climate change (something that bothers me about "NeverTrumpers" is they seem to have a blindspot where climate change is concerned - but I digress). To me Climate Change is the existential issue facing us today. I would think that oil-based companies and large polluters would be all about Trump - it just doesn't seem intuitive that they aren't. The 2020s are so weird.
They give $$ to both parties. For the big guys, American politics has always been heads I win, tails I win.
