WASHINGTON, Feb. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HillFaith, a premier fellowship ministry for the congressional staff community, today highlighted new data suggesting that a significant majority of those working on Capitol Hill do not believe President Donald Trump will pursue a third term in the Oval Office. Despite periodic public speculation and the President’s own hints regarding a 2028 campaign, those closest to the legislative process remain largely unconvinced.

According to the latest CNCT Capitol Pulse survey cited by HillFaith, 63 percent of congressional aides overall responded negatively when asked if they believe the President is serious about seeking a third term. The findings suggest a stark divide between public rhetoric and the private expectations of the staff who manage the daily office, legislative, constituent services, and media communications operations for Members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate.

GOP Skepticism Leads the Way

The survey data indicate that the highest level of doubt exists within the President’s own party. Republican junior policy aides expressed the most profound skepticism, with a staggering 91 percent stating they do not expect a third-term bid. This sentiment was echoed across the rotunda, as 83 percent of Senate Republican aides also answered “No.”

For GOP aides as a whole, the consensus is remarkably firm at 81 percent. Only 8 percent of Republican staffers indicated they truly expect a 2028 run, while 11 percent remained unsure of the President’s intentions.

Democratic Perspectives and Constitutional Realities

Democratic staffers view the prospect with more concern, though the caucus remains split. The survey found that 51 percent of House Democratic aides believe the President will indeed make the effort to stay in power beyond his current term. Across all Democratic offices, roughly 49 percent expect a 2028 campaign, while 17 percent remain undecided on the likelihood of such an event.

HillFaith notes that any serious attempt at a third term would face a significant legal hurdle: the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

“Presidents are limited to two terms by the 22nd Amendment, adopted in 1951,” noted the HillFaith analysis. “That amendment was a direct reaction to President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s four election victories, ensuring that the executive branch maintains a cycle of transition.”

Implications for the Hill

The skepticism among Hill staffers suggests that while the media may focus on the sensational nature of a “third term” narrative, the professional staff tasked with research and advising on policy and governance issues are operating under the assumption of a standard two-term limit. Whether this skepticism stems from a belief in the durability of constitutional norms or an assessment of the current political climate, it points to a Capitol Hill that is largely preparing for a post-Trump era following the conclusion of the current administration in January 2029.

About HillFaith

HillFaith is a non-profit Christian ministry dedicated to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with congressional staffers and providing a forum for discussing the intersection of faith and the unique challenges of personal and professional life on Capitol Hill. Through news and community engagement, HillFaith serves as a bridge between biblical truth and public service in Congress.  Learn more about the organization on their website: https://www.hillfaith.org/

Applications open 16th February, inviting the world’s most talented chefs under 30 to apply

MILAN, Feb. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — S.Pellegrino announces the launch of the seventh edition of the S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy Competition the global initiative designed to identify and support the most promising young chefs under 30. Open to applicants worldwide for four months, the Competition once again invites emerging culinary talent from across the globe to step onto an international stage and help shape the future of gastronomy.

To view the Multimedia News Release, please click:
https://www.multivu.com/s_pellegrino/9383951-en-search-next-generation-culinary-talent-begins-seventh-edition

The S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy is more than a culinary contest. It is a platform dedicated to discovering talent, fostering creativity, and supporting young chefs as they develop their own culinary voice. Through mentoring and access to influential figures in gastronomy, the Academy offers a transformative opportunity to accelerate professional journeys and gain international visibility.

The Competition brings together chefs from all over the world, who are divided into 15 regions and selected by ALMA, the International School of Italian Culinary Arts. Shortlisted chefs then compete in 15 Regional Finals, with regional winners advancing to the Grand Finale. Throughout the Competition, chefs are assessed on three key elements: technical skill, creativity, and personal belief.

As an additional benefit of being part of the S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy, this edition also introduces a new mentorship initiative, reinforcing the Academy’s long-term commitment to supporting chefs beyond the competition itself. As part of this initiative, Ardy Ferguson, Global Winner of the 2024–25 edition, will take part in a dedicated mentorship experience, spending three weeks working alongside two internationally renowned chefs who served on the jury in the previous edition of the Competition: Julien Royer and Jeremy Chan. This mentorship is designed to offer meaningful guidance and professional exchange, while serving as an added source of inspiration for young chefs considering applying.

Reflecting on his experience, Ardy Ferguson, Winner of the 2024–25 edition, said:”The S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy has been an unforgettable experience and has provided me with opportunities in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Being able to continue learning with chefs I admire so much is incredible, and it allows me to keep pushing my craft and building on everything the Academy offers as I continue to grow as a Chef.”

Julien Royer, founder and chef of Odette, Singapore, added: “The S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy offers young chefs an extraordinary opportunity to test themselves on a global stage. The journey to the Grand Finale is intense and demanding, but it’s also incredibly rewarding, pushing chefs to refine their skills, clarify their vision, and grow both professionally and personally. The Academy creates an environment where talent is challenged, supported, and given the space to truly evolve.”

Jeremy Chan, founder and chef of Ikoyi, London, commented: “What makes the S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy special is its focus on individuality and belief. Cooking at the highest level requires conviction as much as skill, and this competition gives young chefs the space and confidence to develop their own voice. Being able to support that process, and to engage with chefs at such a formative moment in their careers, is incredibly rewarding.”

Applications for the seventh edition of the Competition are open to chefs under 30 years of age from 16^th February until 9^th June 2026, via the official application platform. Candidates are invited to submit a signature dish that reflects their personal belief, technical skill, and creativity.

As in previous editions, the initial selection phase will shortlist candidates to progress to the 15 Regional Finals, taking place across multiple regions worldwide. Regional winners will then advance to the Grand Finale, where they will present their dishes to an esteemed Grand Jury of internationally recognised chefs. Alongside competing for the main title, participants will also be eligible for three collateral awards celebrating social responsibility, connection to culinary heritage, and the expression of personal belief through food.
