U.S. stocks soared Wednesday as Donald Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in one of the most contentious elections in U.S. history.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped over 1,300 points midday Wednesday, continuing the climb seen in the pre-market session after the president elect took the stage at his headquarters in Florida early morning, thanking his supporters and promising to restore the country.
“We’re going to pay you back. We are going to do the best job. We’re going to turn it around. It’s got to be turned around, and it’s got to be turned around fast. And we’re going to turn it around” said Trump.
