Inspired by President Trump's love of the stock market, here's what happens when you match the state-by-state results in US Presidential election with the value of US listed companies and the state in which they are headquartered: 82% Biden 18% Trump 1/7 
States that voted for Biden represent 70% of the number of listed companies in the US with a combined market value of over $30 trillion, or 82% of the combined value of US stock markets 2/7
States that voted for Trump account for 30% of the number of listed companies in the US with a combined market value of nearly $7 trillion, or 18% of the combined value of US stock markets 3/7
The value of 550+ US listed companies based in California - nearly $12 trillion - is nearly twice as much as the combined value of all the listed companies headquartered in states that voted for Trump ($6.8tn) 4/7
If you award market capitalisation based on the percentage of voters in each state that voted Biden or Trump, 58% of the US stock market voted Biden and 42% voted Trump 5/7
The numbers were put together by @NewFinancialLLP using data that we had collected for a completely different project. We used the Russell 3000 as a proxy for the US stock market (it covers 98% of the market) and Bloomberg data for the election results 6/7
And here's the President saluting a stock market that is dominated companies based in states that didn't vote for him rising after he lost the election: / ends
