I think the 2026 midterms could create some short-term volatility, especially with inflation and cost-of-living pressure still weighing on voters. However, I don’t see this as a reason to turn bearish. Political uncertainty usually fades after the election, and markets have historically performed better in the following months.
Apple’s move to strengthen its Washington team also makes sense to me. With tariffs, regulation and supply-chain policy becoming more important, experienced government-relations leadership is a sensible hedge. Still, I think $Apple(AAPL)$ needs stronger earnings catalysts rather than relying on political developments.
Personally, I’m staying invested and would use any election-driven pullback to accumulate quality companies. I’m more focused on fundamentals and the longer-term trend than predicting the election outcome. The post-November period could offer some interesting opportunities.
