Deep dives
Potential Economic Impact of Election Outcomes
Predictions regarding economic downturns and recessions are often tied to presidential candidates, but historical data suggests that market corrections occur regardless of who is in office. Analysis shows that while Republicans have presided over more recessions since 1900, causal relationships between presidencies and economic performance are complex and often coincidental. For instance, the timing of a president's election relative to broader economic cycles influences their perceived effectiveness without definitive proof of direct impact. Ultimately, economic cycles are inherent to the financial system and will occur regardless of the occupant of the White House.
