Sen. Elizabeth Warren is set to lead the Senate Banking Committee when Democrats take control of Congress in January after winning the midterm elections. A Warren committee aide, speaking anonymously, said her priorities include addressing the cost of living, tightening export controls on advanced AI chips to China and regulating prediction markets, along with an aggressive oversight agenda. In a Time Magazine op-ed, Warren outlined a plan to cancel looming funding cuts, expand health coverage and fund universal child care, paid for by cancelling tax breaks in the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’, which she says mainly benefit the ultra-rich.
