Trader consensus implies a strong likelihood of another government shutdown—driven by the House GOP's razor-thin 220-215 majority and recent fiscal brinkmanship—with Democrats favored to regain House control after the 2026 midterms. Last week's chaotic passage of a continuing resolution, extending most funding to March 14, 2025, followed intense Republican infighting and President-elect Trump's public push to avert a December 20 lapse, yet hardline conservatives like Rep. Chip Roy vowed opposition to future short-term measures amid demands for spending cuts. Historical precedent looms large, as the president's party has lost the House in nine of the past ten midterms, amplifying Dem odds against a vulnerable GOP amid upcoming debt ceiling reinstatement in January and 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.
