Polymarket gives only a 20% chance that Sean Duffy is removed as Transportation Secretary by year-end, despite the longest U.S. ground stop since the September 11 attacks.
Nearly 9,500 flights were halted and airline stocks fell as operations resumed, yet bettors treat the episode as survivable for Duffy through year-end.

The air traffic bottleneck is carrying into the holiday travel season, one of the most revenue-critical stretches on the airline calendar. A second significant event during peak travel would pressure both airline stocks and Duffy's standing beyond what current odds reflect.
Polymarket probabilities update in real time, so any signal from the administration or any further air traffic failures will move the 20% figure quickly.
