## DOGE impact on stocks
At the beginning of President Trump's second term, the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) caused it and consulting stocks that are heavily reliant on government contracts to fall sharply.
## 2026 stock surge
These same stocks were hit hard again in early 2026 during the ai obsolescence trading theme but surged in the second half of 2026.
## Midterm election blue wave
One likely reason for the rally in these stocks is the blue wave that betting sites are projecting following next week's midterm election.
## Key takeaway

Government contractor stocks rose after midterm election betting sites projected a 'blue wave' in 2026.
