- Will Congress override any veto in 2026?15¢15%
Unified Republican control of the White House and both chambers of Congress has produced few vetoes, all sustained through party discipline, as seen in the January 2026 House votes that fell short of the two-thirds threshold on infrastructure measures. With narrow GOP majorities and limited legislative confrontation, broad bipartisan coalitions needed for overrides remain absent. Midterm forecasts point to possible Democratic gains in November, yet any shift would affect only the final weeks of 2026 or the subsequent Congress, and historical patterns show overrides are rare absent divided government. Traders reflect this consensus in the elevated implied probability for no successful override by year-end.
Rules
This market will resolve to Yes if the US Congress overrides a presidential veto by December 31, 2026 at 11:59PM ET. Otherwise this market will resolve to "No". Passage of a veto override by only one Chamber of Congress shall be insufficient to cause this market to resolve to "Yes". The resolution source will be official U.S. federal government publications (e.g., Congress.gov) however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
