Senate re-elects every 6 years. 1/3 of the senate is up for re-election every 2 years.
The entirety of the house goes for re-election every 2.
I’d guess that it’s because right now, we’re not sure who the next house minority leader will be, so the Republicans are pretty free to vote their conscience.
McConnel on the other hand just got re-elected, and will be leading the senate GOP for the next 6 years. The senate republicans have to either decide to go to war with their “boss” (who is actually very shrewd, and a force to be reckoned with in the senate, but he’s still a faggot), or tow the line, keep the funnel of campaign contributions thanks to Mitch, and get powerful committee positions to then immediately sell their votes on the committee as well.
