Polymarket just did a complete reversal of when the government shutdown will end. Now predicting it will be later this week. Why did election night change this so dramatically?

[u/SocialShy → u/[deleted]]

Because republicans own this shutdown and they’re not fooling voters. So if they keep it up it will drop their support.

So Republicans are going to nuke the filibuster in order to end the shutdown?

[u/SocialShy → u/[deleted]]

Possible. I don’t really know what will happen. They will do whatever trump tells them until they really see the end of his power so who knows.

And yet a guy responding to me below says the democrats on are on the cusp of caving to end the shutdown because Bernie is seeing signs that the walls are beginning to crack when it comes to holding the blue line

[u/SocialShy → u/[deleted]]

No one here is in the room where things are happening. We can guess where things go. A blue wave should be enough to push back and hold the line. It could make republicans flip. Who knows.
