Semafor的Liz Hoffman写道，共和党可能不得不为后果买单，“无论谁赢得国会，都将继承一堆未来两年内即将引爆的问题”，包括高通胀、摇摇欲坠的劳动力市场，以及进一步的伊朗战争升级——更不用说“一个正在泄漏的AI泡沫[很可能]将在下届国会任内破裂”。与此同时，投资者希望看到一个分裂的国会出现，更倾向于立法僵局，在这种僵局中“游戏规则相对已知”，一位策略师对《金融时报》表示。
While Republicans might be left holding the bag, “whoever wins Congress inherits a stack of problems due to detonate over the next two years,” Semafor’s Liz Hoffman wrote, including high inflation, a wobbly labor market, and further Iran war flare-ups — not to mention “a leaking AI bubble [that] is likely to burst on the next Congress’s watch.”Investors, meanwhile, would like to see a divided Congress emerge, preferring legislative gridlock in which “the rules of the road are relatively known,” a strategist told the Financial Times.
