Politico: “With Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) stepping down as the top Democrat on the committee in the next Congress, Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) are both vying to succeed her. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is staying neutral on the matter so far.”
“But Durbin’s bid to be both whip and the top Democrat on Judiciary has spurred a broader debate within the caucus over how much power individual senators should accumulate.”
