Politico's Inside Congress newsletter leads with Sen. Jerry Moran saying he is "still pursuing" the top Republican seat on the Senate Appropriations Committee against Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who is next in line by seniority, with Majority Leader John Thune staying out of the dispute. It also covers Chris Van Hollen's challenge to Chuck Schumer for Democratic leader, Jensen Huang's resignation and the Nvidia scandal drawing testimony threats, fights over other committee gavels, and a possible Iran funding showdown ahead of the Dec 11 deadline.
