Kentucky Senate Republicans’ five-member leadership team will remain unchanged for the 2027–28 biennium after no challengers emerged: Robert Stivers will stay Senate president, with David Givens, Max Wise, Mike Wilson and Robby Mills retaining their respective leadership posts. House Democrats elected Lindsey Burke as floor leader, Joshua Watkins as caucus chair and Erika Hancock as whip for the 2027 session; Burke and Watkins are moving from other leadership roles, while Hancock joins the team for the first time. Their leadership changes follow Pamela Stevenson’s decision not to seek another House term.

Jeffries backs Massie push for quick Hegseth impeachment vote

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries says he will support Rep. Thomas Massie’s effort to force a House vote impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over his handling of the Iran war, with reports that some Republicans may also back the measure. Hegseth calls the effort political theater and says he will not step down; any removal would require a Senate conviction.
