Senator Chuck Grassley will take the helm of the committee that oversees what could be three of the most contentious issues in the 2020 election: trade, health care and taxes.
Republican Grassley will take over leadership of the Senate Finance Committee at the start of the next Congress. He will replace Senator Orrin Hatch, a Utah Republican, who’s retiring. Under Hatch’s tenure, Senate Republicans approved a sweeping overhaul of the U.S. tax code last year. House Democrats are looking to unwind parts of the GOP tax law, which is unlikely to go anywhere as long as Republicans control the Senate.
