Senate finance and health committees brace for major Republican turnover ahead of midterms

The upcoming midterm elections are set to trigger substantial changes to two Senate committees that oversee health‑care policy.

The Senate Finance Committee could see at least five of its 14 Republican members leave, creating a notable shift in its partisan balance.

The Health Committee also anticipates turnover among GOP senators, though the exact numbers are not detailed, potentially reshaping its policy focus.

Should Democrats capture control of the Senate, they will assume leadership of both panels, yet the Republican departures will still affect the committees' direction.
