There may be a misconception in the public that the transition from President Donald Trump to President Joe Biden would be a net negative for those with business in the defense sector. However, from President Biden's past statements and recent actions, that’s not necessarily the case, and it's more the progressives in the Democratic Party who dominate much of the conversation about Defense budget cuts.

In the sixth episode of Insider Insights: 100 Days of Biden, Jayson Wolfgang, litigation partner and managing shareholder of Buchanan Ingersoll and Rooney's Harrisburg, PA office, is joined by Jim Wiltraut, a senior principal in the firm's government relations practice in D.C.

In this episode, Jayson and Jim cover:

- The White House's likely approach to Defense spending and where there may be cuts to the budget

- The biggest differences in approach to Defense between President Biden and former President Trump

- How micro aggressions from Russia, China, North Korea change the landscape of defense and where money gets spent

- How the steel industry specifically may be impacted by the new administration and its approach to Defense

-  COVID-19 relief bills and whether they did enough to protect and help those with contracts in the Defense industry
