Senate Advances Bipartisan Stopgap Toward Ending 40-Day Shutdown

Prediction markets now see a near-term reopening, pending final votes.

Overview

  • A 60–40 procedural vote cleared a filibuster hurdle to advance a tentative funding deal that would run through late January.
  • The package still requires final approval in both chambers and the president’s signature before the government reopens.
  • Polymarket pricing shows an 87% chance the shutdown ends Nov. 12–15 as of early Monday, up sharply from last week.
  • Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned parts of U.S. airspace could be closed within a week if the shutdown persists, as airlines reported 3.2 million passenger delays or cancellations.
  • Shares of United, American, and Delta fell more than 5% following Duffy’s comments about potential airspace closures.
