I put the odds at 7/10.

And Biden was just there.

Making arrangements and getting 10%?

Don Young, Alaska Rep. Don Young, who was the longest-serving Republican in the history of the U.S. House, has died. He was 88. He was the longest-serving Republican in congressional history, having been the U.S. representative for Alaska's at-large congressional district for 49 years, from 1973 until his death in 2022. Mr Young was believed to have been returning home to Alaska on Friday when he lost consciousness during a flight, his chief of staff Jack Ferguson toldAnchorage Daily News. The aircraft was descending when the Republican, and the longest-serving member of Congress, lost consciousness. Don Young screwed Alaska, he allowed his health get the better of himself. Instead allowing the state elect a Replacement Republican he let Rank voting install a democrat. Thanks Don A$$ h%#$ strong letter will follow

Or is was a "Promotional Sacrifice" in order to reach the next career goal... but probably a warning.

As fate would have it, this tragedy unfolded on a September day precisely one year after Mary Peltola took her oath as Alaska’s congressional representative>

Fate, or utilizing that specific date to make it obvious and clear?

Warning? Maybe that was the sacrifice they demand for success.
