Shifts Expected in Congressional Chairmanships If Democrats Win
Congressional Quarterly predicts key committee chairmanships would tilt south and west if Democrats obtain control in November. Senate chairs may move to six Southern and five Western members, with others from Midwest and Border states. House actions would favor Southern Democrats across eight committees and hold on rules by Howard W. Smith if victory occurs.
