Trader consensus assigns the highest probability to another U.S. government shutdown combined with a Democratic House majority in the 2026 midterms. Persistent congressional disputes over Department of Homeland Security funding and immigration enforcement reforms have repeatedly delayed full-year appropriations, creating repeated deadlines that risk lapses in discretionary spending. Recent generic ballot polling shows Democrats holding a roughly six-point national advantage, consistent with historical patterns where the president's party faces headwinds in the first midterm. These dynamics position the Democratic House outcome as the more likely pairing with any renewed shutdown risk, while Republican control remains less probable absent a significant shift in voter sentiment or redistricting effects before November 2026.

The rules and resolution criteria are as follows:
1. Will there be another US government shutdown by January 31?
This market will resolve according to whether the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) announces another federal government shutdown due to a lapse in appropriations by January 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET.
Partial shutdowns count as shutdowns; announcements of office closures due to holidays or inclement weather do not qualify as a shutdown.
The resolution source for this market will be OPM’s Operating Status page (https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/snow-dismissal-procedures/current-status/).
2. Which party will win the House in 2026?
This market will resolve according to the party that controls the House of Representatives following the 2026 U.S. House elections scheduled for November 3, 2026.
House control is defined as having more than half of the voting members of the U.S. House of Representatives.
If the outcome of this election is ambiguous given the above rules, this market will remain open until the Speaker of the House is selected following the 2026 U.S. general election, at which point it will resolve to the party the Speaker is affiliated with at the time of their election to that position. If the elected Speaker does not caucus with any listed party this market will resolve “Other”.
Determination of which party controls the House after the 2026 U.S. House elections will be based on a consensus of credible reporting, or if there is ambiguity, final federal and/or state election authority certification or other final official determination of the 2026 election results.
