To those who are angry and “want to say, ‘I told you so,’” Vance wrote in a lengthy social media post, “you’re right, you did tell us so.

A final look at the market and sector impacts if the Democrats take one, if not both, chambers of Congress in the US midterms -- along with President Donald Trump's response -- led the Nov. 2 Bloomberg Intelligence Washington Policy Pulse. If Democrats do win at least the House, they will launch investigations into companies and BI's new Congressional investigation tracker suggests over 200 companies, including those in crypto, defense and technology could be at risk. We also discussed how Trump will likely move towards geopolitical events and tariffs, exposing the energy and retail sectors to volatility over the next few quarters.

The Bloomberg Intelligence Financial Policy weekly call is designed to provide investors an opportunity to learn about the most recent relevant policy research, information regarding forthcoming political catalysts and other on-goings within Washington DC.

President Donald Trump returned to Texas on Tuesday in a final attempt to bolster Senate candidate Ken Paxton, whose close race in a normally reliable conservative state has Republicans worried about losing control of the chamber.

Trump sought to cast the Democratic challenger James Talarico as too far left for voters and at the same time pleaded for patience over high energy prices, fueled in part by the war in Iran. 

High prices that have strained household budgets have become the dominant issue in the election, weighing down Republican candidates in red states such as Texas.
