Wall Street climbs as investors bet on Clinton victory

The victor will inherit an anxious nation, angry and distrustful of leaders in Washington.

“As a founding member of the FDAF I have been a proud and loyal supporter for several years and am honored to be at tonight’s event”, wrote Pecker, a former president of the group, in an email to the AP.

Above all, there were condemnations of Comey for injecting himself and the nation’s law enforcement apparatus into a presidential election a week and a half before the polls opened, at a time when early voting was also just starting up in many states.

Clinton’s doctors later said that she was suffering from pneumonia, and needed to take a break from the campaign. Republicans expect to maintain their House majority.

Today, 48 hours before Election Day, Comey sent another letter to key leaders in Congress – this one making clear that no charges would be brought against Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee.

“I’m exhausted of the mudslinging”, said Laura Schmitt, a 54-year-old Republican from Woodbury, Minnesota, who was voting for Trump.

After days of full-throated attacks on Trump’s qualifications and temperament, Clinton cast herself as the candidate of “healing and reconciliation” – perhaps a surprising position for a woman who’s always been one of the most divisive figures in American politics.

At the same time Trump, the 70-year-old tycoon who turned his conservative party into a vehicle for populist bombast, concluded a last-gasp tour of swing states by painting his rival as doomed to defeat and the corrupt creature of a discredited elite. “I have never felt more strongly about what we can do together”. “And people are hurt so badly”.

Even before Tuesday, nearly 45 million people had cast ballots in advance for president.

This campaign has been marked by its viciousness, negativity and its polarising rhetoric.

Endo gave up premarket gains to trade down 8.7 percent after the company said it is facing increasing pricing and competitive pressure in its USA generics business.

Clinton’s popularity had dipped after FBI Director James Comey dropped a campaign bombshell eight days earlier with a reopened inquiry into whether she exposed USA secrets by using a private email server while serving as secretary of state.

“I’m exhausted of the mudslinging”, said Laura Schmitt, a 54-year-old Republican from Woodbury, Minnesota, who is voting for Trump.

“Let us show tomorrow there will be no question about the outcome of this election, ” she said. He must win almost all of the roughly dozen battleground states up for grabs to take the White House.

This latest letter stated that a review of the new emails, which were found on a laptop belonging to former congressman Anthony Weiner, had “not changed our conclusions” from last July that criminal charges against Clinton for mishandling classified materials were unwarranted.

“I think most people are expecting Clinton to be the US president, as shown by the jump in the stock markets”, said Kaneo Ogino, director at foreign exchange research firm Global-info Co in Tokyo. “If not, get out there”, President Barack Obama said Tuesday.

“After tomorrow, the work will begin, and one of the highest priorities that I feel an obligation to address is how we bring the country together”, the Democrat added, at a rally in MI. “I really do want to be the president for everybody”. The atmosphere grew especially rowdy at a late afternoon stop in Scranton, Pennsylvania, where shouts of “She’s a demon!” and “She’s a witch!” could be heard as Trump lambasted Clinton.

If he wins Florida, Trump still must win both OH and MI or hope for an upset in Pennsylvania.

Having made the new Federal Bureau of Investigation review a centerpiece of his closing case to voters, Trump said Clinton was being protected by a “totally rigged system”.

Presidential elections usually involve sporadic voting problems, such as machines not working properly. Democrat Charles Ikner of Cross Lanes, West Virginia, opted for Trump, saying it was time for “fresh blood” in the White House.

After a stop there, the 70-year-old is due to fly to rallies in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, before ending with a late event in MI. But if Clinton can cling on to most states that have voted Democratic in recent elections and add at most a couple of swing states, she will likely win the election.
