Thesis

EHIQ reads El-Sayed a modest underdog (~42%), not the market's ~65% favorite. The freshest poll has him down 7, he faces the same Black-voter wall that sank him in 2018 (down 67-21 in Detroit), and a roughly 12-to-1 outside-spending wave is landing for Haley Stevens in the closing weeks. The market looks anchored to a stale post-dropout high. The edge is to fade El-Sayed.
