For KC area, Blunt will also lose Rules chairmanship to Klobuchar and Moran will lose Veterans Affairs chairmanship to Tester if the expected Dem victories in GA hold. Roberts’ retirement already meant the loss of his Ag chairmanship this Congress.

Blunt and Moran also each chaired an Appropriations subcommittee. Blunt’s has been particularly important because it oversees public health funding.

One thing this probably means for Klobuchar is she and Lankford can finally move their bipartisan election security bill (which McConnell opposed) out of cmte and onto the floor google.com/amp/s/amp.kans…

Tester and Moran often partner on legislation (like this one last year), so gavel change probably doesn’t affect Moran’s ability to pass bills out of cmte google.com/amp/s/amp.kans…
