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 β 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 β Reps. Adam Schiff, Katie Porter and Barbara Lee β rushed to take her place, setting up a bitter and expensive primary fight.

“Obama’s gonna give me my sheeit”
remember that?
Burn in Hell π₯
Newsom will pick a conservative : )
You think he could actually nominate Schiff? He’s already said he would nominate a black woman, amd not someone who was running. He’d be going back on both of those.
OMG another black womanβ¦β¦.enough !!!!
β¦β¦.
Swallow-well or Schiff-less, whichever is most in trouble for re-election. Maybe they could ask DiFi’s Chinese spy driver who she’d ,ost prefer to work for.
Ooooooo, do we think Newsom is CAPABLE to make a hard decision.
WOW, he is supposed to be the brilliant politico who brought California...a once beautiful State...to a whimpering shadow of itself.
THAT GAVIN NEWSOM????
The greaseball should pick someone with no interest in running for the seat next year. Let $hitt for brains, Porky Porter and dimwitted Lee battle it out on an even playing field next year.
I think nominating one of those three for the remainder of the term may just make them a lock for next November’s election. Of course if he has a true dislike for someone like Shitt, he just may nominate Porter or Lee.
Porter’s Orange County district is hardly a Rat stronghold, she barely won in 2022. I think that will be a Republican pick up in 2024, especially if she runs for Senate, as she will be vacating her Congressional seat to do so. If she sees the writing on the wall that she has no shot at Senate and runs again for Congress I think she still gets beat. She won’t be able to run away from Bidenomics.

As much Black DNA that they have been injected with. I’m not so sure.
Obviousyly, humor is an unattainable goal for some of our freepers.
It’s because Schiff did the dirty deed for the Dems
in other words a perfect democrat
bootylicious comes to mind.
oprah’s neighbors
too young
As long as Adam Schiff doesn’t end up replacing Feinstein, I can live with any other Democrat (I Think).
I saw the democrats talk about Feinstein on TV. When I first started watching it in the news I thought they were talking about Mother Teresa. So I assume that the Pope will be declaring her a saint soon.

No, she’s already running for it in 2024.
π€£π€£π€£ Yeah, pretty much! πππ
