Was that Steny Hoyer standing behind Senators?
Is it just someone who looks like him? Is that some sort of tradition?

3. it's when someone shows the new guy the way.
In the case of the returning senators, each person gets to have one other senator with them. It is often a committee leader or other senior member from their party.

one chamber to another. I could be wrong.
