Kalshi Forecasts US Government Shutdown to Extend Nearly 24 Days

Kalshi Forecasts US Government Shutdown to Extend Nearly 24 Days

Prediction market platform Kalshi projects the ongoing US government shutdown could continue for close to a month.

Fact Check
The statement is strongly supported by the most recent evidence. A Seeking Alpha article from '4 days ago' explicitly states, 'Prediction market Kalshi sees the U.S. government shutdown lasting... for 26 days'. This figure is very close to the 'nearly 24 days' mentioned in the statement. While other older sources cite a different forecast (around 11 days), those are tied to a hypothetical 2025 date and do not reflect the current forecast, which has evidently changed.
