what happened
Meta is assembling a bipartisan group of former political staffers ahead of the US midterm elections, Seeking Alpha reported, citing Axios. The company wants closer ties with both Democrats and Republicans. The hiring drive is led by president and vice chairman Dina Powell McCormick, who previously worked at a bank and in the first Trump administration. Meta has brought in aides to senior Democrats, former Biden administration staff, and several officials from Trump's team, and has promoted others into policy and communications roles.
why it matters
For markets this is mainly a political story, but it shows how big tech firms are preparing for scrutiny of artificial intelligence and data center expansion. The report shows no direct effect on Meta's shares.
