They don't want Jeff Sessions to defund amnesty and other things and also he spends too much time talking about a tight labor market. Sessions is also more likely to attack Paul Ryan's BS numbers than Enzi.

Sen. Mike Enzi confirmed Wednesday that he wants to be the next chairman of the Senate Budget Committee and is in negotiations to supplant the panel's current ranking member, Sen. Jeff Sessions.

Enzi, of Wyoming, easily cruised to a fourth term in the midterm elections after beating back an aborted primary challenge from Liz Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney. Enzi has more seniority on the Budget Committee, but Sessions, of Alabama, is popular in the conservative activist community for his firm opposition to comprehensive immigration reform.
"We're talking. I'd like to be the chair," Enzi told the Washington Examiner.
Sessions also confirmed that Enzi was after the Budget gavel. But when asked how he felt about it, said only: "We're good friends."
