Democrats' Midterm Wins Trigger AI Stock Plunge and Nasdaq 100 Drop

According to Nine. com. au, U. S.

AI-related stocks fell sharply after Democrats secured victories in the recent midterm elections, pulling the Nasdaq 100 down more than six percent and erasing billions of market value. CNBC reported that the sell-off followed earlier concerns after Democrats won the Texas gubernatorial race, which had already prompted a dip in AI shares. CNBC later noted that wealthy donors debated campaign-finance strategies and warned that the Democratic win could hinder the AI sector. Reuters said that investors also reacted to potential regulatory scrutiny of data-center projects, sending SpaceX and Tesla shares tumbling.
