Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) is looking to depart the Senate Banking Committee as he eyes a seat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, according to three people familiar with the matter.
The move, if it happens, wouldn’t be shocking for Daines, who is riding high after netting a 53-seat majority as NRSC chair. Final committee assignments for the 119th Congress remain up in the air, subject to leadership approval and the passage of an organizing resolution in early January.
