Stock futures drop as Wall Street confronts the ‘blue tsunami’ threat to the AI boom
NBC News reports that stock futures slid on the night of Nov. 3, 2026, after Democrats won commanding election victories that raised fears for the AI boom, with Nasdaq 100 futures falling more than 1% and winners like Keisha Lance Bottoms and Amy Acton calling for pauses in data center construction. JPMorgan analysts warned of an "AI sell-off on assumed higher regulation," and Evercore's Sarah Bianchi forecast new pauses and restrictions on data center development in a turbulent 2027.
