Contributing sentiments towards policy:
55% : Why it matters: Bessent would bring to Treasury deep knowledge of bond and currency markets and a close relationship with Trump -- as well as a surprising connection to hedge fund manager George Soros, mega-donor to liberal causes and bogeyman to the political right.44% : The intrigue: Bessent has been critical of the Federal Reserve and will likely be a key voice as Trump selects his appointees to run the central bank.
27% : A slew of Trump-era tax cuts will expire next year, even as Trump pledged a range of further tax cuts on the campaign trail.
