Jinse Finance reported that what was previously widely believed to be a U.S. government shutdown lasting only two to three weeks is now evolving into a major crisis in Washington and is likely to continue until November. "To end the shutdown, either the White House needs to participate in negotiations to reach an agreement, or the Democrats need to compromise. But at present, there are no signs of either," analysts at Beacon Policy Advisors stated in a report. "The current government shutdown is likely to become the longest federal government shutdown in U.S. history." As of Monday, the partial government shutdown that began this month has lasted 20 days; the longest government shutdown in U.S. history lasted 35 days, which occurred nearly seven years ago during Trump's first presidential term. According to the prediction market Kalshi last Friday, the current shutdown may last about 41 days, whereas two weeks ago the market predicted it would last only 14 days.
