## Resource

Senator Ron Johnson is poised to lead the Senate Budget Committee, a pivotal role for Republicans seeking to pass major fiscal legislation through reconciliation. With key allies already tied to other committees, Johnson’s ascension follows the passing of longtime chair Lindsey Graham. As a staunch fiscal conservative, Johnson could steer future reconciliation bills — including potential tax cuts or spending measures — but faces internal GOP challenges in rallying consensus on the details.
