Trump administration efforts since March 2025, including an executive order directing closure and workforce reductions exceeding 40 percent at the Department of Education, have shifted some functions via interagency agreements but cannot complete statutory termination without congressional legislation. A House-introduced bill to end the department by December 2026 has not advanced, while Senate committees advanced bipartisan measures in July 2026 to block key transfers and preserve core programs such as special education. Traders assign 96 percent probability to “No” because full abolition requires passing both chambers before the 2027 deadline amid divided procedural hurdles and institutional resistance. Late legislative breakthroughs or unexpected overrides of Senate opposition remain the primary paths that could still alter the outcome.
