Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is poised to become the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee after Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) announced Friday that he would step down to take over the chairmanship of the Finance Committee.
The shuffle would put Graham in charge of the panel handling judicial nominations. Graham is up for reelection in 2020. He praised Grassley’s leadership of the committee in a Tweet Friday.
I very much appreciate Senator @ChuckGrassley's leadership of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
He chaired the committee with a steady hand, sense of fundamental fairness, and resolve.
His leadership serves as a model to us all.

Senator @ChuckGrassley has much to be proud of during his time as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
His work, along with his Democrat and Republican colleagues, accomplished so much for the American people.

If I am fortunate enough to be selected by my colleagues to serve as Chairman, I will push for the appointment and Senate confirmation of highly qualified conservative judges to the federal bench and aggressive oversight of the Department of Justice and FBI. https://t.co/aGu4bXX1Hq
