According to reporting by @NBCNews, House Republican leadership determined to adjourn Washington ahead of scheduled calendar marks, delaying a scheduled privileged impeachment inquiry vote against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth until after the November 3, 2026 midterm elections.
The simulated schedule shifts the floor vote by 48 days, accounting for 32 days of recess and 16 district work days before the November 12, 2026 floor consideration.
Current Model: 48-day delay (32 recess + 16 district work days). Lame-duck vote held 9 days post-election.
