The midterms are a referendum on public trust
Also: All the news and watercooler chat from Fortune.
Tomorrow's midterm elections will determine more than just which party controls Congress. The outcome will test public trust in three main areas: capitalism, politics, and business leaders. Americans are increasingly concerned about the growing wealth gap and the impact of artificial intelligence on jobs. Republicans have been cheered for their agenda on taxes, deregulation, and putting American business first, but privately, many CEOs are worried about the national debt, government ownership of large companies, and the president's alleged enrichment.
Additionally, people no longer trust business leaders, especially in the tech and AI sectors, as they prioritize making money over protecting user safety and privacy.
