Will Congress
Analysis
This represents the likelihood that Congress will muster a two-thirds majority in both chambers to overturn a Trump veto before January 20, 2029. Veto overrides are historically rare—only about 7% of presidential vetoes are overridden—and require substantial bipartisan consensus. The current 29% probability reflects uncertainty about both the frequency and type of vetoes Trump issues and whether either party will have sufficient motivation to override them. Key drivers include the composition of Congress, the partisan salience of specific bills being vetoed, and whether any vetoes affect widely-supported legislation. The market has priced lower odds for an override before 2027 (10%) compared to the full 2029 window, suggesting traders view the probability as more likely in the latter half of a potential Trump presidency. Major catalysts would include actual vetoes of significant bipartisan bills in the coming months, which would provide concrete test cases for override likelihood.
- ›Override success requires 67 votes in Senate and 290 in House; current Congress composition affects feasibility
- ›Historical veto override rate is approximately 7%, providing baseline for how rare these outcomes are
- ›Type of legislation matters significantly—overrides more likely on widely-popular bills with genuine bipartisan support
- ›Political polarization affects willingness to cross party lines on major presidential disagreements
- ›Early vetoes in 2026-2027 would provide direct evidence; their topics and voting patterns would indicate trajectory toward 29% or elsewhere

How we compute these odds
SimpleFunctions aggregates live prediction-market contracts from Kalshi and Polymarket. Each slug groups contracts that resolve on the same underlying event, identified by venue event_id.
For binary slugs, the headline probability is the liquidity-weighted mid-price across all bound contracts. For multi-outcome slugs (e.g. elections with 3+ candidates), the headline is the leader’s price; we never arithmetically average disjoint outcomes — that would produce a number with no real-world meaning.
Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours; daily aggregates are computed at 04:00 UTC. The 30-day sparkline is drawn from per-ticker daily means stored in market_indicator_daily; 24h delta and movement events are derived from the same source.
