Sens. Scott Brown (R-MA) and Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) will be soon given plum positions on the Senate Armed Services Committee, according to a report.
Brown, who has been lobbying for a spot on the committee, will fill the late Sen. Ted Kennedy’s (D-MA) old spot, according to ThinkProgress.
Bingaman will also reportedly be added to the committee to maintain the ratio of Democrats to Republicans.
