Stock market would have slid today if Wall St. thought Biden had a chance to win. Up 500+.

Curious why this is so and, also, has it been a historical pattern where the market gains on likelihood of re-election?

The market likes certainty/predictability, you get that with an incumbent, especially one with the track record of Trump for his business friendly policies. New President brings uncertainty... Uncertainty in policy, trade deals, regulation, etc.
