The holdup in passing the Senate organizing resolution doesn't just delay the handoff of cmte chairs from R's to D's. It also means new members, including Kansas freshman @RogerMarshallMD, don't have any cmte assignments yet.

Marshall tweeted about a Zoom meeting with Vilsack and has clearly been operating under the assumption that he'll get a seat on Senate Ag (a big part of his campaign). But we don't actually know that until the organizing resolution passes.
I made a reference to the fact that Marshall is currently in cmte limbo in this story about Blunt and Moran handing over their chairmanships. kansascity.com/news/politics-…
Somebody please make a gif of Jack Nicholson telling Matt Damon, "You better get organized," in The Departed, so I can tweet it at the Senate.
Marshall mentions call with Vilsack in this clip. Ag Cmte is expected to pass out the nomination favorably today. But since Marshall's not on the cmte as of yet, he won't be able to vote until it gets to the full Senate.
