Either Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump will be elected as president on Tuesday. All 435 members of the House of Representatives are up for election, and 34 Senate seats will be decided.
As CNBC reports, between Sept. 15 and Oct. 31, S&P 500 companies discussing their earnings on investor conference calls used the word “election” almost 100 times. That is the highest number of companies using the word “election” since 2004 and probably longer. The nation is anxious because the two candidates for president offer two starkly different platforms for the country.
The polls say the race for the White House is a toss-up. The polls for the House also indicate a coin flip for which party will win a majority. But the polls consistently indicate that Republicans will be the majority party in the Senate when all the votes are counted.
