during the prior two years should not participate in any government matters on which they had previously lobbied.Bob Crowe, a partner at lobbying shop Nelson Mullins, told CNBC that he is "excited" about the prospect of a Biden victory, noting the former vice president is an old friend of his.
"We have targeted 50 swing districts around the country so when 2021 comes, Joe will have the votes to go big," said a person familiar with the effort. Lobbying giant Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck listed a wide range of possible Biden Cabinet members in a note last month. Former longtime lobbyist Tony Podesta said in an email that he has heard Republican-led lobbying firms are already keeping a close eye on potential hires that have links to Biden but any official moves will largely depend on what takes place in the fight for the Senate.
The future might not be so bright for other GOP-linked firms, including Ballard Partners, which is run by veteran Trump campaign bundler Brian Ballard.
