US policymakers have repeatedly raised or suspended the debt limit to avert default, most recently increasing it by $5 trillion to $41.1 trillion in 2025, with debt now exceeding $40.3 trillion and projected to test the cap in 2027. Congress retains authority over appropriations and borrowing authority, while the Treasury can deploy extraordinary measures to extend runway. Traders assign 98.1% probability to no default by end-2027 because both parties face severe market, credit rating, and economic fallout from any missed Treasury payment, consistent with decades of resolutions. A realistic shift would require sustained post-election gridlock blocking action through year-end 2027 or an unprecedented fiscal shock overriding these incentives.
