Politico's Inside Congress newsletter reports that seven Virginia Democrats are backing Rep. Bobby Scott to keep the House Education and Labor Committee gavel against challenges from Reps. Suzanne Bonamici and Jahana Hayes, praising his decade leading the panel and his accountability efforts, including a letter demanding agency heads preserve documents. It also covers Mike Thompson's narrow loss to Eric Jones, Maxine Waters's Financial Services chair bid against Sean Casten, Chris Van Hollen's challenge to Chuck Schumer, Jamie Raskin's Judiciary gavel run, Jack Smith's disbarment fight, and a postponed Ted Cruz briefing on AI security.
