Two physician senators -- Sen. Rand Paul, MD, (R-Ky.) and Sen. Roger Marshall, MD, (R-Kan.) -- are among the leading contenders to take over Sen. Bill Cassidy, MD, (R-La.)'s role as chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) committee after his primary loss.
Paul is the next Republican in line for the position, though it's worth watching to see if he instead opts to stay on in his role as chair of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee, as reported by Axios.
