Electoral Vote Breakdown
Trump voters unlikely to vote for Democrats for Senate in swing states
Result: GOP keeps House + Senate, gains Presidency, and gets Supreme Court back
Trump win implies that he won swing states Clinton win does not guarantee Senate or House wins for DemocratsA moderate Clinton win makes Senate control likely, but House is a steep climb

Democrats have to gain 30 seats to control house – possible if Clinton wins by 10+%

Markets have been expecting this outcome, and it perpetuates gridlock, so that political risk of major changes is low over the next four years.
If Clinton wins with a larger-than-expected margin, Democrats could take Congress, leaving markets in fear of higher taxes and pro-labor policies.
If Trump wins the election, the GOP will likely control Congress as well. Markets’ fear of protectionism and populism contribute to short-term decline.
