The simple reason they want this deal done now

Advertisements [?]

(I can't find my source, so if an intrepid poli sci or biz student can help here, I'd appreciate it)

If the Dow is down for September, the party-in-power loses the WH. If it's up, they win. Right now, it's down for the month, but if a deal gets done, the market may rocket into positive territory.

9/2 11,516

9/24 10,825

They have 6 days (calendar days -- 2 of those are weekend days) to get the market up 691 points.
