  • Although there is certainly volatility and speculation regarding who will win the presidential election every four years, history shows that it's nearly a non-event in terms of long-term stock

The article from MSN Money discusses the performance of the stock market under Presidents Joe Biden and Donald Trump, focusing on their first terms.

This growth was partly fueled by tax cuts and deregulation. Conversely, under Biden, the S&P 500 has experienced a 25% increase since he took office in January 2021.
