Trumps victory over Vice President Kamala Harris was decisive, with the president-elect winning both the Electoral College and the popular vote. The GOP also won control of the Senate and is within striking distance of maintaining a majority in the House, but control of the lower chamber was still up in the air Friday as key races remained too close to call.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 and Nasdaq all hit fresh records after Trumps win on Wednesday.
Dow financials, including Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan, helped drive the gains.
Even before Trump appeared to emerge as the winner, stock futures were steadily climbing, building on a rally Tuesday in which all three of the major market averages rose over 1% as all the major sectors in the S&P 500 locked in gains.
