With the December 20 continuing resolution deadline looming, trader consensus prices a government shutdown at near-certainty, driven by Republican internal divisions over Speaker Johnson's latest slimmed-down funding proposal, Democratic opposition to cuts in disaster aid and farm programs, and external pressure from President-elect Trump and Elon Musk demanding deeper spending reductions. This impasse echoes prior near-shutdowns, amplifying shutdown odds in combined outcomes. For 2026 House control, Democrats lead early generic ballot polls by 5-8 points, bolstered by historical midterm losses for the president's party—GOP holds a razor-thin 220-215 majority vulnerable in battlegrounds—positioning Shutdown & Democratic Party at 81.9% as the dominant scenario amid fiscal brinkmanship. Upcoming floor votes could shift dynamics before resolution.

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.
