Traders overwhelmingly price in a US government shutdown—implied at nearly 98%—alongside Democrats recapturing House control in the 2026 midterms, reflecting recent near-miss funding crises and partisan gridlock. Congress's December 20 continuing resolution, extending operations only to March 14, 2025, barely passed amid Republican infighting and opposition from incoming President Trump and Elon Musk to bloated spending, heightening shutdown risks alongside the January debt ceiling deadline. Conditional on shutdown fallout, Democrats lead generic ballot polls by 3-5 points, bolstered by historical midterm losses for the president's party (averaging 25 House seats) and GOP vulnerabilities in 17 Trump-won districts, positioning this combo at 83% consensus versus 15% for Republicans.

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.
