🇺🇸️ Republicans hold 53 seats in the Senate, Democrats/Independents hold 47. A trial before January 2027 would be Republican-controlled, making it difficult to convict Hegseth.
The projected Democratic control in January (~54 seats) still falls short of the 67 votes needed for conviction.
Even with Democratic control, it would take 11-13 Republican votes to reach the two-thirds mark.
Gessett's impeachment is highly unlikely, even if the House of Representatives approves Massey's articles of impeachment.
