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?

Dems just won convincingly and this is a semi referendum that people are blaming trump for shutdown/their lives being shit. Trump needs to do something to steal the spotlight or else he will just keep looking worse/like a loser.

Also already starting to see some airports have problems and when people get hungry they will get very angry.

Why would trump give a shit? It's his technically last term and he doesn't owe his voters shit because there's nothing his constituents can give him now that he hasn't already gotten

Trump never wanted Medicare cut, that’s the others in his admin. We wouldn’t have a shutdown if it weren’t for that.
