**Moderating:**

I think we’ve had enough speculation on the leadership of the 2027 Congress for the _election_ thread. Speculation should probably be here:

> [@The New 2027 Congress](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-new-2027-congress/1034394/66):
>
> And Marcia Blackburn has confirmed that Pete Hegseth will NOT be going to the Senate, as all of her former Senate colleagues have desperately pleaded with her to do for the last week. tada (OK, that second bit has not been publicly confirmed, but you know it’s true)

Or feel free to spin off your own thread if you want to be more specific.
