Prediction markets indicate a 60% chance of a federal government shutdown as President Trump meets with Congress members. Over $2 million has been wagered on this outcome, with bettors on Polymarket and Kalshi predicting a shutdown by Oct. 1. If Congress fails to pass necessary funding, non-essential government functions will cease, affecting federal workers' pay. Schumer has criticized Trump, labeling the situation a "Trump shutdown." The potential shutdown could lead to economic repercussions, including reduced consumer spending and delayed government investments.
