Wicker of Mississippi was appointed as Acting President pro tempore by the President pro tempore, Mr. Grassley. No legislative business was transacted during this brief session. The Senate subsequently adjourned at 4 and 40 seconds p.m., with the next meeting scheduled for Tuesday, October 6, 2026, at 1:30 p.m.

This session was pro forma, meaning it was held solely to fulfill procedural requirements and maintain the legislative calendar without conducting any substantive legislative business. Such sessions ensure the chamber remains technically in session, often during recesses or periods of limited activity.
