Filling an empty R seat doesn't change that, so that timeline doesn't control anything.

Also, of note, there will be a second Dem facing not being sworn in when the special election runoff in TX-18 happens (early in the new year) if Mike "Pedo Protector" Johnson continues to stonewall regardless of the shutdown status.
