The most left-wing member of the House of Representatives has publicly signaled interest in serving as the next U.S. senator from California, saying that “it would be an honor” if she was selected to finish the term of freshman Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA).

Congresswoman Barabara Lee (D-CA), who has represented Oakland since 1998, showed her interest in a Twitter statement Thursday. According to GovTrack, Lee was the “most politically left” member of the House of Representatives in 2019.

Mad Maxine Waters and Crazy Bernie would make a nice couple in the Senate.

And I believe Harris was the "most politically left" member of the Senate - even more so than Bernie Sanders. I guess Lee would qualify as a replacement.

How much money does she have? That Senate seat will not go cheap

First off, hoping this won’t be an issue at all
Not her. Not enough clout to land the gig. I don’t know if the rumors are true that Newsom would appoint himself. I think it would be a mistake as it would piss off the other rabid dogs and he might have a rough go of it in the 2022 election. My money would be on Becerra

BINGO! She’ll need to tap some deep pockets to help her buy that seat.

Too old to get elected down the road. Need a looker. That counts. Try a lipstick lesbian. Can’t think of one.

You mean Kamala Harris STILL hasn’t resigned her seat? Why would that be, I should wonder.

Clearly the prerequisite for a leftist to be considered for a political office in the democrat party is their willingness to cheat, lie, steal, even kill for the party.

Time to change the name a bit to the "Democrat Crime Party".

Cali has a long-standing tradition of useless senators.

Gov Nuisance must continue this practice and appoint Meghan Markle.

Exactly. Biden is making all sorts of futile appointments in his pretend administration. Yet Willie’s Ho still knows better than to resign her Senate seat. She knows her chances of being the next vice president are slim and none.

Who says we don't need term limits? 2020 - 1998 = 22 years.

You know, I’ve thinking that if and when “Any Twosome” Newsom picks someone, s/he’ll be LGBT. One of his cronies of that ilk from San Francisco in all probability (e.g., State Sen. Mark Leno). He’s going to need all that rich queer money for his own future presidential bid.

In addition to her communist politics, Lee is racist, vile, mean and very angry - a perfect replacement for Harris.

Face it. If it comes down to appointing a senator for CA, then it would be best to have the most radical, left-wing off the wall senator possible. Trump won millions of former Democrat votes this election because of radicals in the Rat Party. The further left they go, the more people they chase out. Personally, I would love to see AOC as Speaker of the House, but it appears Nancy will be. Nancy is easy enough to vilify. Most of her party barely tolerates her. AOC would be even better. It is all about contrast.
