Markets And The DC Chaos Fallout: Companies Pull Campaign Contributions, Facebook Bans 'Stop The Steal, And An Impeachment Vote Looms

Jan. 12, 2021

Carl Quintanilla and Jim Cramer discussed a stock market searching for direction in the aftermath of last week's siege on Capitol Hill: The growing list of companies halting contributions to GOP lawmakers who voted against Joe Biden's electoral vote count, Facebook removing content containing the phrase "Stop The Steal", while House Democratic leaders prepare to call a vote this week on impeaching President Trump for a second time. COVID-19 also in focus: The Trump Administration set to issue new guidelines that would expand vaccine eligibility to everyone 65 years of age and older. Carl and Jim reacted to Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla telling CNBC he's confident the company will produce up to two billion doses of coronavirus vaccine this year. The anchors also remembered Las Vegas Sands founder and CEO Sheldon Adelson: The casino mogul and major GOP donor has died at the age of 87.
