That's not the way it works. Again, it's a political move with midterms not based on any sort of financial or legal reality.

Just listened to an incredibly hostile interview of Stephen Kinnock on the Today programme.
Nick Robinson openly accusing Labour of trying to avoid losses in upcoming local elections by postponing them until after the reorganisation next year.
The BBC was NEVER this hostile to the Tories.

But she’s a smart woman & we know that the rich & powerful in the USA all hate women, particularly smart ones, and will spend fortunes to prevent her realising her ambition.

from the perspective of someone who might want to be president, the best time to run for the white house is now, not later. so if AOC is thinking about it — if the white house is her ambition — then her best bet is to throw her hat in the ring
You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid
She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

Surely, SURELY, Kylie & Eve only have to ask themselves how Brexit has turned out in comparison to the promises Farage made.
And ask themselves about his relationship with Trump & the performance of the Reform led councils.
It will destroy our way of life if Reform win a GE.

Here’s Reform UK Kent’s Councillor David Wimble threatening to pull funding for the Turner Contemporary in Margate.
Wonder what Tracey Emin would make of that.
It’s surprising Wimble is talking about funding, bearing in mind he’s know for the quote “numbers have never been my thing”.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.
