Remember when @realDonaldTrump warned during the campaign that your 401k's and stocks would "disintegrate and disappear" if @JoeBiden won? Well, the Dow Jones industrial average just reached a record high of 30,000 points. And it's 3 weeks since Election Day.
As I do every day, I checked and the @JoeBiden lead over @realDonaldTrump in the national popular vote continues to grow. Biden now leads by 5,832,999 votes. With 98% of the vote counted, Biden has 51% to Trump's 47.2%. In the Electoral College, Biden has 306; Trump has 232.
