**Trader consensus in this market assigns an 86.9% probability to a government shutdown paired with Democratic House control in 2026, versus 10.3% for a shutdown with Republican retention.** Persistent congressional deadlock over appropriations bills, especially funding for the Department of Homeland Security amid disputes on immigration enforcement and related reforms, has already produced multiple partial shutdowns in early 2026. These funding lapses stem from narrow majorities and partisan sticking points that have repeatedly blocked full-year spending packages. At the same time, generic congressional ballot polling shows Democrats leading by roughly 6–7 points, consistent with historical midterm patterns where the opposition party gains ground. Race ratings from outlets such as the Cook Political Report reflect this edge, with Democrats positioned to net the handful of seats needed to flip the chamber. Upcoming appropriations deadlines and continued legislative friction sustain the likelihood of further disruptions before November 2026, reinforcing the joint outcome favored by market pricing.

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 wins control of the United States House of Representatives in the 2026 United States midterm election.
A party wins control of the United States House of Representatives if it wins a majority of the chamber’s voting seats. If no party wins a majority of voting seats, the chamber will be deemed controlled by the party with which the first elected Speaker of the House of the Congress that convenes after the 2026 midterm election is affiliated.
The following rules govern the counting of seats for determining which party wins control of the chamber.
All House elections in the 2026 United States midterm election that elect voting members and determine representation in the upcoming 120th Congress are included. Where a seat is decided by a runoff, the runoff result will determine attribution of that seat.
Seats are attributed to the party under which the member was elected. If a member-elect changes party affiliation, or vacates their seat, between election day and the formal organization of Congress, the seat is attributed to the party under which the member was elected.
House members elected as independents who formally caucus with, or, for newly elected members, who announce their intent to caucus with a party are included in that party’s count. If the caucus decisions of members of the House elected as independents cannot be determined on the date of the election, this market may remain open until the earlier of (i) an announcement from the relevant members of their intents to caucus, or (ii) January 4th, 11:59 PM ET of the following calendar year. If no such announcement is made by January 4th, 11:59 PM ET of the following calendar year, the member will not count towards the seat count of any party.
The resolution sources for this market will be official information from relevant state electoral authorities, the United States Congress, and a consensus of credible reporting.
