Digital World Acquisition (NASDAQ:DWAC) stock wasn’t doing so hot earlier today, with investors reacting to the latest election results in the United States.

The big news that traders need to take away from the election is that several politicians backed by former President Donald Trump did not do well in their respective races. This news follows Trump revealing plans for another presidential run in 2024.

With candidates backed by Trump not performing well, sentiment about his next bid for the presidency has been weakened. In turn, that also has investors in DWAC stock demoralized, considering the close ties between the two.

What Does DWAC Stock Have to Do With Trump?

Digital World Acquisition is a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). SPACs are blank-check companies that merge with private companies to take them public, allowing their merger targets to bypass the normal process of going public.

DWAC stock is now seeing heavy trading today, with some 2.4 million shares on the move. For the record, the stock’s daily average trading volume is about 2 million shares.
