The senator was a staunch support of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act and likely would have advanced acting Attorney General Todd Blanche\u2019s nomination out of the Senate Judiciary Committee. <\/p>\n<p>Republican North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis expressed concern that the Department of Justice (DOJ) would not be independent from Trump\u2019s influence if Blanche becomes the next attorney general. <\/p>\n<p>Graham chaired the Senate Budget Committee and would have led the effort to pass a third reconciliation bill. Republican Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, who is set to take over for Graham, is a well-known fiscal hawk who has demanded cuts to federal spending, especially social programs, according to Punchbowl News. <\/p>\n<p>Graham was also set to replace 92-year-old Republican Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley as the next Senate Judiciary chairman, according to Politico. Republican Sens. Mike Lee of Utah, Ted Cruz of Texas or Josh Hawley of Missouri will be the most senior Republicans on the committee.<\/p>\n<p>The South Carolina senator\u2019s passing could make it harder for Republicans to receive the necessary votes on partisan pieces of legislation.
