A possible Democratic wave in November could change federal policy support for AI infrastructure, JPMorgan strategist Dubravko Lakos-Bujas said in a note to investors. AI stocks account for 45% of the S&P 500’s market capitalization, according to the article.
Lakos-Bujas said continued Republican control of Congress would likely provide the most supportive incremental federal policy backdrop for AI and infrastructure investment. Polymarket puts an 85% probability on a “blue wave,” defined as Democrats winning at least 218 House seats and 49 Senate seats.
