BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has responded to criticism from Republican candidates during the recent debate, expressing disappointment with the focus on his firm rather than on critical economic issues. Fink highlighted the disproportionate attention given to BlackRock, with some candidates mentioning the company more than inflation or the national debt. Fink accused DeSantis and Ramaswamy of making deliberately false attacks and dismissed the criticism as 'sad.' The debate has brought attention to the politics of environmental social governance (ESG) and its potential impact on the 2024 presidential race.
