As Democrats take control of the Senate, Sen. Elizabeth Warren is expected to lead Senate Banking in January, and an aide has outlined an agenda featuring Trump family crypto businesses and prediction markets.
The Warren Banking aide also listed Big Tech CEOs, administration officials, Wall Street executives and large corporations as potential oversight targets. The aide said those groups should “prepare to answer tough questions,” speaking anonymously because the plans had not been announced.
Affordability priorities include a proposed cap on credit card interest rates and bipartisan housing legislation involving Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C. The potential agenda separately identifies private credit and a possible artificial intelligence bubble as financial-stability risks.
Democrats won a Senate majority in the Nov. 3 midterms. Warren has been the committee’s top Democrat since January 2025. A separate Democratic plan for a Senate probe into Trump family crypto venture World Liberty Financial has also been part of the party’s oversight efforts.
Warren is expected to take the committee chairmanship in January.
