FEC records show Squeri has made personal donations to the American Express PAC, which supports candidates on both sides of the aisle. He has also historically contributed to individual candidates from both parties, maintaining a profile of corporate neutrality.
Notes: Data spans multiple cycles including 2020 and 2022.
Squeri's personal giving follows a traditional 'establishment' pattern, avoiding heavy lean toward the populist MAGA wing of the GOP.
While some financial institutions moved quickly to implement new merchant category codes (MCC) for firearm retailers, American Express under Squeri initially expressed caution, citing the need to balance regulatory requirements with customer privacy, a stance often supported by conservative/MAGA advocates of the Second Amendment.
Notes: Amex eventually paused the implementation following pressure from Republican state attorneys general.
The decision to pause firearm tracking codes aligns with MAGA-favored policies regarding gun rights and corporate overreach, providing a rare pro-MAGA signal in an otherwise liberal-leaning social portfolio.
Squeri serves on the board of the Partnership for New York City, a pro-business group that often interacts with both Democratic city leadership and Republican state/federal figures to promote economic growth in the NYC region.
This role is institutional and focused on regional economic stability, showing no specific MAGA or anti-MAGA bias beyond standard corporate advocacy.
In 2021, Squeri was among the hundreds of CEOs and companies that signed a statement opposing 'discriminatory' voting legislation, a move prompted by Georgia's election law changes which were championed by Donald Trump and the MAGA movement.
Signing the 'Statement on Voting Rights' placed Squeri in direct opposition to a key MAGA legislative priority regarding 'election integrity.'
As CEO, Squeri oversees the American Express Political Action Committee (PAC), which historically distributes funds to both Republican and Democratic candidates. Following January 6, 2021, the PAC temporarily suspended contributions to the 147 Republican lawmakers who voted against certifying the election results, though it later resumed broader giving patterns.
Notes: Reflects a corporate governance response to the events of Jan 6.
The suspension of funds to the 'Sedition Caucus' is a common anti-MAGA signal in corporate America, though the subsequent resumption of bipartisan giving moderates the long-term direction to neutral.
Under Squeri's leadership, American Express launched a $1 billion action plan to promote racial, ethnic, and gender equity. This included doubling spend with diverse suppliers and achieving 100% pay equity. These initiatives align with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals frequently criticized by the MAGA movement.
Notes: MAGA figures often frame these corporate policies as 'woke capitalism.'
Aggressive pursuit of DEI and ESG goals is a primary point of friction between major corporations and the MAGA movement's 'anti-woke' platform.
Squeri is an active member of the Business Roundtable, an association of CEOs that redefined the 'purpose of a corporation' to include all stakeholders (employees, communities) rather than just shareholders. This shift has been a target of conservative and MAGA-aligned critics.
While the Business Roundtable is a standard institutional body, its 2019 statement on stakeholder capitalism is viewed by the MAGA movement as a pivot toward globalist/liberal social agendas.
