Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley says he hopes to see the U-S Senate work more in the new year than it did in 2023. He says they only worked two-and-a-half days each week.
Grassley is a Republican, and says lawmakers are doing work on the days they are not working or voting on legislation.
Grassley says the Democrat Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer needs to do a better job in the New Year of having senators work on legislative issues.
Grassley was elected to his eighth term in the U-S Senate in 2022.
