Supreme court refuses Trump's bid to set aside 20,000 California ballots
The US Supreme Court declined to take up an emergency request from Trump that sought to set aside about 20,000 ballots in California. The justices ruled against the bid. Separately, the latest New York Times and Siena College poll before the midterm elections shows Abdul El-Sayed leading Mike Rogers in the Michigan Senate race by 11 percentage points, a gap outside the margin of error. That survey was taken before Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens announced she would back Rogers. The Michigan seat is considered vital for Democrats as they seek to retain control of the Senate.
📊 What it means for markets
This is mainly a legal and political story, and markets are usually not directly affected. Election polls and Senate control can sometimes influence sentiment for the USD or US stocks over time, but such effects are often modest and hard to predict.
