Meanwhile, financial markets are reacting optimistically, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average surging over 1,100 points. This rally is fueled by President Trump’s comments that have sparked hope among investors that tensions with Iran may soon de-escalate.

“I believe it’s foolproof, and maybe it’ll be tested. Maybe it won’t,” Trump said. “It’s about voter integrity, we want to have honest voting in our country.”
