Dianne Feinstein Death: Gavin Newsom Has Tricky Task to Announce Replacement

The death of Sen. Dianne Feinstein on Thursday night has left California Gov. Gavin Newsom with the job of appointing a replacement to serve the remaining 15 months of her term — a choice he hoped never to have to make.

Newsom initially promised in 2021 to pick a black woman to replace Feinstein if she was unable to remain in the Senate through January 2025. That was in response to the outcry from some quarters after he appointed then-California Secretary of State Alex Padilla to replace Sen. Kamala Harris after her election as vice president.

After Feinstein announced earlier this year that she would not run for another term, three prominent House Democratic lawmakers — Reps. Adam Schiff, Katie Porter and Barbara Lee — rushed to take her place, setting up a bitter and expensive primary fight.

Whatever the case, don’t count her out yet. Could be anti monarchists working behind the scenes.

Too many people who paid their dues will stop her. Her abysmal popularity ratings do not help, and r we ven some Dems might think there is a Constitutional crisis with being a duchess and s Senatrix simultaneously.

True.

And as I’ve said about Pelosi and Biden, the trashy replacement will be energetic and active to a much greater extent.

Whoopee./S

Usually an idol of women he looks more like he could morph into this cover from an HP Lovecraft book:

Thanks DAC,

I’m still laughing...

[Glad2bnuts]

Kamala, and then replace her as Veep. She has to know the writing is on the wall, and something that sleazy could easily come from Any twosome Newsom. Done deal, Biden quits citing alzheimers, he can’t testify against his son, but can still pardon him... I predicted it all, REMEMBER ME.

[Glad2bnuts]

Holy crap, I am tapped into your genius.. Look at the bottom of this thread.

Oh God, not F*cking Markle. She’s already stolen Harry, killed the beautiful & wonderful Queen Elizabeth II after a lifetime of service to her people, violated every rule of good taste, exhausted the British, left a trail of inescapably woke breadcrumbs wherever shes visited & has provided some of the most confusingly uber racist & reversibly racist accusations amongst the self appointed anti-racist commentariat that has collectively been making our ears bleed for decades now🤮🙄🫣
