Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) will not be tested for the coronavirus, despite attending a Senate Judiciary Committee meeting with a fellow senator who later tested positive for the virus.

Someone to his seat?

(10,309 posts)12. If an Iowa senator dies in office then the governor

Be careful what you ask for because if Grassley dies the the person who replaces him would have the incumbency edge.
