Last-minute voters arrive at the Staples Center in Los Angeles to cast their ballot as polling stations close in California. US media outlets project a win for Democratic candidate Joe Biden in California.
The US equity indexes closed at record highs on Thursday. Analysts look to the Democrats' victories in the Georgia Senate runoffs as a factor in the surge. Experts say the dual victories in the Georgia Senate runoffs pave the way for sweeping fiscal support in early 2021. The S&P 500 was up 1.5% at 3,803.79. The Dow Jones industrial average closed 212 points higher at 31,041.13, up 0.7%. While the Nasdaq composite saw an uptick of 2.6% at 13,067.48.

Having grudgingly green-lit the peaceful transfer of power, President Donald Trump is now perfectly poised to proceed with a parade of pardons. Trump has already commuted the sentence of his informal adviser Roger Stone. But what about Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, who is still in home confinement serving out his prison sentence? Even more to the point, what about Trump himself? Trump has repeatedly asked aides about pardons for himself and his family members--and whether he could issue them preemptively. CNN reports the question of self-pardoning may be moot. If Trump faces any criminal charges, they'll be at the state level, not federal. US Presidents are not immune from any state charges.
Large crowds gather in New York's Times Square, waving signs and flags to celebrate Joe Biden's victory in the US presidential election. One sign reads: '11-7-2020, The Happiest Day for the USA'. IMAGES
