A disputed U.S. presidential election outcome is a potential uncertainty that markets need to pay attention to, said Clete Willems, a former deputy director of the National Economic Council.

ahead of the November election. That would also help the president's chances, said Willems, adding that it's especially so if the nominee is Amy Coney Barrett, who's someone that excites the conservative base.

"So, I think this is going to be an incredibly tight race. And I do think, unfortunately, we may not have an outcome immediately, probably going to be litigation that follows and I just hope that we can get this resolved in relative short order so there isn't uncertainty come January," he said. "I really do think that this is something we're going to have to deal with.

The passing of Ginsburg set up a battle over the Supreme Court which had a 5-4 majority of Republican appointed justices. If Trump's nominee were to be confirmed, a 6-3 majority could have a huge influence on the shape of the law in the U.S. for a generation to come.

Which is why having 9 SCOTUS Justices is so important. We can’t afford to even have the possibility of a 4-4 vote in SCOTUS if one was needed in that situation

When you are in a hurry to bolt on a conservative judge to scotus, you know you are loosing.

Captain obvious, iceberg straight ahead

I have no doubt that joe will announce his election in the next speech😕😕😕

Biden can’t remember the Pledge of Allegiance! Do you really want this man to be your president?! I say NO WAY!

Stop causing panic!

The civil war is coming.

Hahah. Did u think we thought Nanner and Chucky the Clown 🤡 would go quietly 🤔🤔

even Nixon didn't do that for his country

Stop with the hidden threat. I will not be scared into voting socialists!!

No Trump will win with Thumping majority

Been saying this for weeks. Outcome won't be known in Nov and regardless of who is declared the winner, there will be legal challenges and mega-riots in the streets.

It’s amazing to me how EVERY ONE of these articles focus on Trump and how he’s going to lose, etc etc First off...maybe he’s going to win Secondly...what anout Joe Puddingbrain...will he accept the outcome? Go F yourselves with this relentless propaganda

What else do you CCP sympathizers have? Nothing. Not a candidate. Not a coherent platform. Nothing but 'destroy America.'

Its no chance as trump will dominate the votes ite no way dems can get over 35 million votes without fraud. It will be more votes than ever casted .

It is obvious to even the casual observer that the democrats by Trying to mail out 80,000,999 ballots to unverified addresses and folks both dead and alive that they are setting up q a disputed election.

Ummm.... not exactly breaking news!

Then Pelosi will be president

Former White House official warns there's a 'high risk' of a disputed U.S. eating contest outcome

It's Joe Biden. Donald Trump has no chance of winning.

FireJimCramer

It’s more of a certainty given how Donald operates. He will declare victory no matter the outcome.

We won't have an official presidential decision until December issues will be raised with mail in votes trust me.

Tell us something new: He claimed in 2016 if he loses the polls are rigged. Then he won with foreign interference. He is delegitimizing a poll being held under his administration if he does not win even with foreign interference. He will not get more than 150 electoral votes

Here CNBC goes with the left wing propaganda.

I would say that it’s a given. I would also say that it is known thus hundreds of lawyers and dozens of lawsuits. It is time to allow voting online using block chain technology for security using state DMV/ID databases.

'Will these candidates survive until the outcome?' The question should be an important source of doubt As a matter of fact; Biden looks more risky USElection2020

Only because Trump has planted that thought in people's heads. Don't believe the hype. It's a trap. We are under attack by our own President. Semion Mogilevich owns him.

Of course democRATS are going to try to cheat and if that fails they’re going to complain, riot and fight tooth and nail until it’s proven they lost fair and square

Of course there is. Why do you think there is such a push for mail in voting?

High risk = 100% certainty
