A GOP senator who spoke to Punchbowl on condition of anonymity doubted Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, should return as chair of the Judiciary Committee.
An anonymous Republican senator has reportedly expressed concern about 91-year-old Sen. Chuck Grassely, R-Iowa, reclaiming his position as chair of the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee should the GOP take control of the upper chamber. Whether Donald Trump or Kamala Harris wins in November, the next Senate Judiciary Committee Chair could oversee several Supreme Court nominations and other judicial picks.
They also credit the eight-term senator for the current Supreme Court conservative majority, as Grassley and other GOP senators in 2016 decided to forgo the hearings needed to advance Merrick Garland's nomination to the high court. That effort, however, was largely led by then-Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. 'No one is better prepared to lead the Senate Judiciary Committee than Senator Grassley,' Clare Slattery, a spokesperson for Grassley, told Fox News Digital.
