SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - With President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris projected to take the White House, Harris will have to resign her seat in the U.S. Senate.
The power to fill that seat would fall to Governor Gavin Newsom, and the political jockeying for his pick is well underway.
“This is one of the best jobs in American politics, one of the most prominent jobs in American politics and every California political leader wants it,” said UC San Diego political science chair Thad Kousser.
Kousser expects Newsom will want to make history with the diversity of his pick, should he have the opportunity.
Others are thinking along the same lines. Groups like Equality California have sent the governor a list of their preferred LGBTQ candidates, which would be a first for California.
Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez tweeted out her own list Friday of Latino candidates, another potential first for the state.

Gross. But funny.
One interesting aspect of this will be how much money Newsom will be able to extract from the eventual appointee (and/or his/her/its backers). He’ll get away with what Lightning Rod Blagojevich got locked up for.
Certainly the diversity choice will hold many rare qualities and characteristics...
Maybe a homeless, one-legged, double-reverse transgender who speaks in pig Latin and identifies as an advocate for bestiality with underage animals.
There has to be a few dozen of them in every region of California. And many thousands in the Golden State will applaud the insight and wisdom of GovGav with that pick.
Both. She will not forfeit that paycheck.
Can they pass a background check?
