How likely is it that the US goes into a recession either later this year or early next year? And how would it affect the midterms?

I saw a chart showing the US economy versus "tech investment". Basically if it wasn't for the absurd amount of money being pumped into AI, we would already be in an official recession.

Now it's just an unofficial one where we're feeling the effects, but the investment sector and economy numbers are floating on the AI bubble.

And we saw what happened the last time tech tried to put all their eggs in one basket. (looks at the dotcom bonanza of 1998 which ended up crashing in 2001)

Since Q2 had a growth in GDP, Q1 of 2026.

It takes two quarters of decline in GDP.

That is the technical definition but yeah its almost here.

A lot of voters simply reject the benchmarks for a recession. GDP could be fine, but they'll insist we're still a recession because that's how it feels.

And even when GDP is fine, inflation, wages, unemployment, etc can still be garbage.
