The playbook
He runs tariffs, chips subsidies and the census, and talks about all of them on television. His department publishes what it does in the Federal Register and pays out what it pays through usaspending.gov. A statement about a tariff or a grant has a document to meet.
He came from Cantor Fitzgerald, and his personal finances are on the annual OGE Form 278e. What he holds while making policy is a public record.
As with the President and the Treasury Secretary, the rule is that a dated fact about the department is scoreable and an opinion about the economy is not.
What we're watching
- Ongoing Statements about tariffs or chip grants, against the Federal Register notice or the award record.
- Spring 2027 The annual OGE Form 278e.
