Good luck with you assertion. It is going to start causing Democrats state level races. Parents are no longer putting up with this CRT nonsense which demeans and belittles their children.
Early vote is still growing, I checked too early. Currently at ~1,142,000, meaning early vote is at almost 42% of what the presidential early vote was - this is good for the democrat. And before everybody jumps on me, this is just an indicator, not a determinant. Just giving relevant information for you to consider.
It should be "It is going to start costing Democrats state level races." Spell check backfires sometimes. If state level Democratic candidates push CRT commentary which goes against the desire of many parents to have a voice in their own children's education -- it is going to backfire on them badly. If McAuliffe had kept his mouth shut on this subject IMO he would still be leading in the polls and not at risk of losing the Virginia election.
I have a buddy in Alexandria who tells me that the lines are longer than during the Nov election. Good for Dems.
So what will it mean for the markets if Youngkin wins? And vice-versa? Now that's not to say that perhaps the media's assigning too much weight to this thing with regards to 2022. Or... maybe they're right. Either way, as markets go, we all know they love to react to short term news events such as this. So as always, "hmmm?". I think a Youngkin win will result in a more significant reaction, in certain sectors at least, than a McAuliffe win. If McAullife wins, I don't see a big jump or a big selloff anywhere, but if he loses, I could see oil dropping in concert with the oil-patch stocks rising, as contradictory as that sounds. Pretty sure there'd also be a decent drop in these so called "green" stocks. So, my guess, a McAuliffe win the market goes about its business, a Youngin win, we'll see some sector rotation that might be worth playing as it will be a decent move short term. In a week and a 1/2 no one, market-wise at least, will give a f. There'll be something new as always. Anyone wanna make a prediction this fine Sunday night? Without being there, I can't get a feel for it. GWB's there. Or close. NC. Close enough.
Youngkin winning will probably, be positive for the stockmarket. McAuliffe winning will reinforce, Anti-Business policies as raising more taxes, adding more regulations which will hurt most businesses with the $1.5 trillion reconciliation bill. Totally bad for the stockmarket.
