History. No count shown: in past times no president was asked to name one person wanted by the head of the Senate.
Hunch. Lula let the 8 November deadline from both heads of Congress to put forward Rodrigo Pacheco pass without an answer and did not mention him in his TV address that night.
The Pacheco market resolves the same way on the same official page: YES only if by 23:59 Brasília time on 31 December 2026 Rodrigo Pacheco is announced as the nominee or his nomination message reaches the Senate president, and NO otherwise. Folha de S.Paulo confirms it, O Globo, g1 and Estadão are the backups.
We looked for cases where a president's choice for the country's top court failed in the Senate after 1900, and a newly elected Senate was due to sit within about three months. We found five such times, four in the United States and one in Argentina. Brazil has none in this period: before Messias, its Senate last turned down a choice for the Supreme Court in 1894.
