The strongest week since back to april. However, you have to put that in context. Two weeks ago was a lousy week in fact, two weeks ago the dow lost just over 1800 points, down by 1833 points last week the dow was up by 1821 points so that was a giveback for the dow kind of starting things over if you look at the other major averages, they got back much more ground than they had lost the previous week. Last week the s p was up 329 points after being down 195 the week before and the nasdaq was up by 983 points last week after losing 636 points the week before but again these gains this morning are significant ones they are adding to what we saw last week.

Years since 1793. Paul joining the panel this week, wall street journal columnist, dan heniger, kim kim strassel and jason riley. Dan, lets give context of where we are now in the election fight. As i look at it, donald trump to win would have to turn results in some combination of georgia, arizona, pennsylvania or wisconsin. How likely is that . I dont think its very likely that its going to change very much. Its good that georgias going to do this manual recount so we can have a clear idea of how one of these elections turned out with a legitimate recount. But you know, theres a couple things to keep in mind here. Joe bidens lead in most of these states is tens of thousands of votes. The other most famous recount in american president ial history was florida in 2000, al gore and george w bush. Between them, there were less than 600 votes. Out of millions cast.
