The major indices opened down sharply on economic news and a tweet from President Trump throwing out a tweet about delaying the election. Since then, U.S. Representative Davis, the top Republican on the House Administration Panel, along with Republican Senators Cruz, Rubio, and Tillis have come out and stated there will be no delay in the 2020 election. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell also responded that the election date is “set in stone.”
The markets signed a breath of relief, and buyers have once again emerged, with the Nasdaq now positive.
