Looks like Durbin’s the whip.
CHICAGO (AP) U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin announced Friday that he will run for Democratic whip in the new Senate and said he already has the votes to get the job.
“I am deeply honored that my Senate colleagues are willing to entrust me with this responsibility,'’ Durbin said in a statement released by his office.
The post of whip is the second ranking job in the party’s Senate leadership and involves rounding up votes on key issues.
