Prediction market Kalshi has adjusted the likelihood of a U.S. government shutdown this year to 63%, a decrease from 77.9% the previous day. This change follows comments from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who suggested that a shutdown is 'likely avoidable.' Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has indicated that Democrats might let government funding lapse if Republicans do not agree to include key healthcare provisions in funding agreements. Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with congressional leaders, including Schumer, Jeffries, Speaker Mike Johnson, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, on September 29.
