Grassley Opposes Democratic Governor Appointing His Senate Successor

US Politics25 days ago

Senator Chuck Grassley said he wants a Republican governor to name his replacement if he passes away before the end of his current term in the U.S. Senate. Speaking at a Republican dinner in Des Moines, Iowa, the 93-year-old senator expressed concern that a Democratic governor would have the power to select his successor should he die in office.

The remarks come as Grassley reflects on his age and how many more opportunities he will have to address GOP groups. While he stated he does not plan on dying in office, he linked his apprehension about the next gubernatorial election to the process of filling Senate vacancies, without explicitly stating if he will seek another term.
