How Badly Will Abdul El-Sayed Senate Race Affect M&A?

Hi monkeys,

Sophomore from NYU here. I have some interviews coming up and anticipate being asked about current events.

I figured that having a smart/unique take on the midterms could be a good angle, especially considering I am interested in running for office someday!

How do you guys think Abdul El-Sayed flipping Texas will affect M&A, especially in the FinTech PSP space (that is the niche I prepped for interviews).

Thanks,
JM (NYU 2nd year, prev @ Deloitte)
