Most of these senators demur when asked about 2024 cycle, which is now barely more than a week away. Cotton put it this way: “There’s a time to shoot at the 300-meter target, but you’ve got to make sure you hit the 50-meter target. And right now [2022] is the 50-meter target" — PolitiTweet.org

With Burr retiring. Rand is also in line for HELP Committee chairman or ranking member. HELP is typically viewed as a better committee because it generates a lot of legislation, but Oversight may have bigger platform in a Democratic administration — PolitiTweet.org
