Jeff Bush, Principal of The Washington Update and a nonpartisan authority on U.S. politics, tax policy, and the economy, shares his framework for talking to clients about politics, previews the 2026 midterm elections, and explains what a divided Congress means for tax and regulatory policy.
The conversation covers:
  • How to talk to clients about politics without taking sides: Politics comes up in nearly every client meeting now — Bush details his tips on when that's worth changing the plan and when it's just noise to manage. 
  • What a Republican Senate majority through 2032 means for financial planning: Bush expects a narrow Democratic House and a Republican Senate that could hold through 2032 and explains why that multi-year math might matter to financial planning.  
  • Where a divided Congress could still pass legislation: Bush sees Congress stalling on almost everything for the next two years, except a handful of issues, from housing to crypto.
