U.S. Senator-elect Elizabeth Warren is poised to join the Senate Banking Committee after she is sworn into office in January, Bloomberg News reported. Two Democratic aides briefed on the matter said Senate leaders intend to assign Warren to the Banking Committee, although a final decision on committee assignments will not be made until the new session of Congress convenes. Warren had been floated as a likely candidate for the committee seat, which would give her a role in writing banking legislation including revisions to the Dodd-Frank Act. Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) is also expected to receive a seat on the Banking Committee, according to one of the Democratic aides. Manchin acknowledged he was pushing to get a seat on the committee.
