NEUTRAL IMPACT
The expulsion of George Santos from Congress is a significant political event but has a neutral impact on the SPY ETF as it tracks a broad range of stocks and is not significantly affected by individual political actions.
While the expulsion of a congressman is a notable political event, it does not have a direct impact on the financial markets or the performance of the SPY ETF, which is designed to track the S&P 500 Index. The SPY ETF's value is determined by the collective performance of its constituent companies, and not by political events unless they have a broad economic impact.
