The White House has rated hundreds of American companies and trade associations on their loyalty to President Donald Trump and his agenda, according to a new report.
A senior White House official told Axios the West Wing scorecard factored in how hard the 553 companies and associations had worked to promote Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill," including social media posts, press releases, video testimonials, ads and attendance at White House events to boost the Republican megabill.
"The data, which is being circulated to White House senior staff, will be used as a reality check when someone from K Street calls and says, for instance, that they'd 'love to catch up — was so great working with you to pass the big, beautiful bill,'" the website reported. "The ranking 'helps us see who really goes out and helps vs. those who just come in and pay lip service,' the official said."
The organizations' support is ranked as strong, moderate or low, according to the report, and "examples of good partners" include Uber, DoorDash, United, Delta, AT&T, Cisco, Airlines for America and the Steel Manufacturers Association. The White House will continue updating the scorecard to monitor their engagement on other Trump initiatives, according to the report.
"If groups/companies want to start advocating more now for the tax bill or additional administration priorities," the official said, "we will take that into account in our grading."
