Virginia Democrats push to strip Byrd of Senate seniority
The Virginia State Democratic Central Committee overwhelmingly endorsed a resolution to remove independent Sen. Harry F. Byrd from the Senate Democratic Caucus. If adopted, Byrd would lose seniority and seats on the Armed Services and Finance committees, a move reflecting resentment over his independent stance. Former Rep. W. Pat Jennings supported Byrd until his 1972 party switch. Virginia Democrats criticized Byrd for not advancing party doctrine, noting past campaign donations they say would have been avoided if Byrd had been expelled earlier.
