Senate rabble-rousers are gaining power
Hardline conservatives are gaining power in the Senate by taking top roles on key committees and subcommittees.
Why it matters. Changes in committee leadership can shape probes, subpoenas, and oversight, including Johnson’s Budget and Homeland Security investigations roles.
What to watch. Look for Ron Johnson to chair the Budget Committee, and for leadership decisions affecting Mike Lee’s Judiciary chair and any energy chair changes.
