Republican Senator Chuck Grassley has bid farewell to a longtime member of his household: a vacuum cleaner named Beth that served his family for nearly half a century. "U will see Beth no more," Grassley wrote. The vacuum was named after one of his former Senate staffers, Grassley previously revealed in 2021, when he posted about using "old reliable Beth" during Thanksgiving. A 2023 video showing Grassley using the vacuum to prepare for a Thanksgiving gathering attracted more than 1 million views on X.
