[0:06] Live from New York. This is Balance of Power with Joe,
[0:10] Matthew and Kailey Lines. Election day in America.
[0:15] I'm Joe Matthew alongside Kailey Leinz at world's headquarters in New York.
[0:19] And thank you for joining us. Our coverage is already underway here
[0:22] with reporters fanned out across the country, will be hearing from them over
[0:25] the course of the hour, and the full resources of the Bloomberg newsroom and
[0:29] the terminal at our disposal here in New York City, along Mike Kelly.
[0:32] We're buckled in for the duration. Indeed, it will be.
[0:35] Of course, polling is now open across the country, though 57 million Americans
[0:39] already voted early in an election. That, of course, could decide the
[0:42] trajectory of the two years. And just what the lame duck period of
[0:46] President Trump's final term in office could look like.
[0:49] Will it just be the House that flips Democrat or potentially the Senate as
[0:53] well? Prediction markets would tell you that
[0:55] there is a strong chance that both flips happen this evening, Joe, but we're
[0:58] going to have to wait until the votes are counted.
[1:00] That's true. And it could be days.
[1:01] In some cases, it depends on what path this all takes this evening.
[1:05] And we're going to be finding out in real time.
[1:06] Our special coverage will begin at 7 p.m.
[1:09] eastern. But we're talking about it all day and
[1:10] watching the markets, too. The backdrop for this conversation has a
[1:14] lot to do with the state of the economy. Of course, affordability and the highest
[1:18] price of gas we have ever seen on an election day in America
