Neither party wants to look “bad for the economy”, even if the people harmed isn’t of significant size.
The presidential election ends in December and all your local ones won't be certified today and in the event of a run-off or re-count voting also won't end today.
You mean like the horrific jobs numbers that came out that nobody is covering either? Like bad like that??
Why did nobody talk about the floods in Nepal or mass suicides in Sudan? Clearly we should all be talking about jobs and the US economy!

AIUI there were strikes and other factors affecting the numbers, but not necessarily indicating significant harm to the economy/jobs long term.
