Will Trump end Department of Education before 2027?

Prediction market · Polymarket

Overview

This market will resolve to "Yes" if the US Department of Education ceases operations entirely, including the termination of all federal educational programs managed by the department, by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". If the US Department of Education is merged with another agency, resulting in a consolidated department with a shared administrative structure which is no longer titled the Department of Education it will count as a "Yes" resolution. If it becomes impossible for Trump to sign legislation/perform executive actions (e.g. he resigns), this market will resolve to "No". The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the US government, however a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.

A March 2025 executive order directed Secretary Linda McMahon to facilitate closure through staff reductions—now at 50%—program transfers to other agencies via interagency agreements, headquarters relocation, and budget cuts, marking one year of downsizing as of March 2026. However, Congress rebuffed elimination efforts, fully funding the department in February 2026 and rejecting deep cuts, with Democrats vowing opposition to the latest fiscal 2027 budget proposal slashing $8.5 billion. Upcoming midterm elections and appropriations battles pose further hurdles, though slim GOP majorities could enable progress if priorities align.",
