A partial Department of Homeland Security shutdown, now nearly seven weeks long and disrupting TSA operations at airports, has been prolonged by House Republican divisions despite a bipartisan Senate funding deal advanced this week, with Speaker Mike Johnson agreeing but the chamber punting action until after recess on April 13. This dysfunction underscores trader consensus at 84.4% for another government shutdown occurring alongside Democratic House control in the 2026 midterms, versus 13.6% for Republicans retaining the chamber. Strong Democratic leads in generic ballot polls (up to 8 points) and comparable prediction markets reflect midterm headwinds for President Trump's party, historical seat losses for incumbents, and GOP vulnerabilities from fiscal brinkmanship through remaining appropriations deadlines.

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.
