What is going on with the election? Well, here's everything you need to know about the latest drama regarding the election. Right now, let's talk about the Senate. The Senate hangs in a balance of 49 seats for Democrats 49 seats for Republicans This is a big deal because it means that Democrats need just one seat to win control. Now you might think to yourself, wait a minute Kevin 49 Plus 49. that's two seats left for election and this is true, but Democrats only need one seat to go from 49 to 50. add the VP Kamala Harris as a tie-breaking vote as the 51st vote and you beat Republicans even if they get to 50. Because that's actually where we stand now and have been at for the last two years a 50-50 Senate with Kamala Harris as the tiebreaker. Now of course you have Mansion and Cinema which have made the Democratic agenda a little bit more limited or restricted in its progress or progressiveness, and a lot of people see that as okay. A lot of people call called mansion and Cinema basically closeted Republicans trying to pull America towards the middle or they're evil Democrats However you look at, it doesn't matter, they're still going to be around. Either way, if Democrats get to 51 seats, though, if they win the next two, then at least they'll have a little bit more Edge only having to convince one of them rather than both of them right and that's still possible. In fact, if you go to Predictit.org the betting markets are suggesting that Democrats are actually going to end up with 51 Vote or 51 Senate seats and Republicans will end up with 49. that means you can actually knock out the opinions of one of those people Mansion or Cinema to get legislation passed. But that does you no good if the Republicans control the house. So let's talk about that. But look at these odds here. we're at 98 cents that Democrats are going to control the Senate and then obviously the odds would be less that they're actually going to get both seats. But that's that's the majority opinion right now is that they'll end up getting both seats. Uh, we'll see that's going to come down to the Georgia runoff, which you can see right now is leaning blue or leaning Democratic at 76 cents. That means that Raphael Warnock or the Reverend would win over Herschel Walker who's endorsed by and endorsed and backed by Trump. Now speaking of Trump, before we talk about the house, what's going on with Trump And how does he feel about the fact that Arizona was just called for Democrats? And where's this major announcement that he keeps alluding to that everyone's waiting for? Well, here's what Donald Trump is up to on Truth Social. He says the following: idiot and possible corrupt officials have lost control of Tainted election in America and then in all caps: machines broken in Republican areas. So folks only in Republican areas The voting machines are broken. They're rigged Okay according to Donald Trump a new election must be called for immediately. So let's let's redo all of Arizona Uh Arizona By the way, the votes came in at Uh 1.128 for Mark Kelly The Democrat uh also the incumbent and then Blake Masters had just over a million and five votes. So you do have a Delta there. It wasn't I mean a Delta of about 123 000 votes. maybe even 124 000 votes? Uh, that's that's a lot. That's about nine to ten percent of a difference. So that's not really like a nail biter like what we're seeing in Nevada Nevada You've actually got the Republican ahead right now. but or by only 900 votes and that 900 votes is going to be conditioned or like the outcome of that. Uh, polling in Nevada is going to be dependent on counties like Reno which is a flip area and Clark which tends to be a little bit more left-leaning So you know this is why I think the betting markets are suggesting Dems have a good shot at taking Nevada And then of course we have to wait for Georgia until December 6 because that's when the runoff is anyway. Donald Trump continues his rant here. You can see that was posted. Uh, the first one there was 10 hours ago. Then you have a 49 heater advertisement. It's actually cool that they actually have advertisements running. Uh, so they're getting their platform going. But anyway, 10 hours ago, 11 hours ago? what do we have from Trump Rigged elections. Open borders equals third world country. The US is a failing Nation You know now I Hate saying it. but I I mean for Donald Trump I Think he's really just shooting himself in the foot over and over again because I really don't think the majority majority of Americans think the U.S is a failing Nation Now there are probably more Americans who question elections, but I don't think people in general think we're a failing Nation But but hey, maybe you do let me know in the comments. what do you think? Are we a failing? Nation Anyway I Just think some of these comments are really extreme. but then again, they get attention right now. they're finding all sorts of ballots in. Clark County Remember that's the one that I said Elaine's left right. they're pulling out all stops to steal the election from Adam laxle Mitch McConnell The Republicans broken down Senate leader does nothing about this. He's too busy spending vast amounts of money on bad Senator Lisa M of Alaska when Kelly s is far better, should have fought and stopped the steal in 2020. Gave Dems 4 trillion dollars never use debt ceiling. He's the worst. And this is where he's referring to uh, essentially negotiating a budget increase in actually passing a budget rather than and shutting down the government over the last two years. And even though Republicans didn't vote for Biden's fourteen hundred dollar stimulus check that you needed the debt ceiling to be able to pull that off. Uh, or at least you could have a guess in retrospect said hey, well, you passed that 1400 stimulus check. Now we're just gonna shut down the whole government because the those negotiations happened like six months later. Anyway, that's Trump We still don't have the major announcement from Trump There was some talk that Donald Trump is going to wait to see how the Nevada election shakes out, and then maybe we'll have a major announcement from Trump which is obviously expected to be his front-running presidential campaign for 2024.

maybe we'll have that next week, but others are saying no Donald Trump You should wait until the Georgia runoff, but either way, we also have the House of Representatives which currently sit at a balance of 201 seats for Democrats and 211 seats for Republicans. This means in order for Republicans to have control of the house, they only need seven seats and they're about 23 elections left. So out of 23 elections, you really only need to win one in three elections for Republicans to take control of the house. And so if you're wondering like hey, are we going to see gridlock, the predicted betting markets are putting this at an 84 percent chance that we're going to see a republican house and a democratic-controlled senate. So you will see that gridlock. These are where the elections are left. You've got one over here in Maine New York You've got Alaska But most of the elections are over here on the West Coast a little bit in Colorado Arizona But if you individually click on these and see almost all of these elections are very, very close. I Mean look at this. This is less than 100 votes apart. This election. over here. this election is about 15 000 apart. but that's all Dems So that one doesn't matter. It's a Democrat running versus a Democrat. Here's one. Republican Inverse Democrat is is less than a thousand votes apart. Here's another one: Democrat versus Uh versus a republican. This one's about 13 000 apart. You've got another twenty thousand apart over here. Seven thousand apart over here. Uh, four thousand apart over here. But if you just look for where red is leading, uh, you've got a leading Red in. California is 45 over here. So there's one. There's a leading Republican but only by uh, uh. by about uh. actually. Yeah, well. by about two thousand two thousand-ish votes over here. So let's just say that's two Republicans right there. Remember, you only need seven. So uh, and then Republicans have control of the house. Which leads to gridlock. Here's another one: Kylie I Ran against him for governor. That's cool. There's I debated with him too. That's three. That's four right here for Republicans that is not Republican That looks like damn. Here's five for Republicans Go over here. Damn. leading. Here's a republican. That's six. Let's pop over here to: New York Here's a republican. That's seven. There you go. You're right. you're at 218. and then that's assuming you don't lose just those seven. and you don't get any kind of more flips than some of the other districts that that we just didn't all click on. So what does that mean for the stock market? Well actually I think it's relatively bullish for the stock market because I would expect that come next week. so probably buy the uh, you know, 18th of November which is week before our Black Friday coupon code expires on all the programs on building your wealth. Get lifetime access for all those Elite Hustlers being one of the separate ones. Uh, that that has a monthly component to it. Great program, so check them out. Especially zero to millionaire real estate investing. But what does it mean for the stock market? So look, the stock market is looking for gridlock. The stock market is looking for Republicans to take the house. It seems like about 85 percent likely that Republicans are going to take the house and it seems uh, well, it is still possible that Democrats can get control of the house. Uh, it seems very, very slim. So I think markets are confident that Republicans are going to create gridlock? Sure Democrats could end up getting 51 seats in a democratically controlled Senate and that will let them water down the power of mansion and Cinema one of them. It's not going to be enough for them to actually be able to really pass legislation through the house because the house will be controlled by Republicans and they will probably stop anything that they don't agree with that is not bipartisan and that's really what the stock market looks forward to. So generally we see the largest stock market returns in the year following a midterm election on average 18 to 19 percent. This isn't really an average year, though, you know, obviously with the craziest inflation that we're seeing. But when you combine the year after a midterm election with the fact that inflation may be peaking, you could actually be destined for a really strong stock market over the next 13 months. So basically from now through 2023, which is super exciting. So anyway, fingers crossed. Thanks so much for watching and folks we'll see in the next one.
