Dianne Feinstein Death: Gavin Newsom Has Tricky Task to Announce Replacement
New York Post ^ | Sep. 29, 2023 | Samuel Chamberlain

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.

It will be newsome. A checkmark on his way to the White House.

Are you crazy? Newsom is the governor, why would he want to become Senator? Governor is a better platform for president. In fact, I would say if he appointed himself Senator, it would be a sign he is not running for president.

Voters hate this, by the way. Of the none governors who has themselves appointed Senator, only one was reelected.

He’ll appoint Commie-La, to make room for him as VPOTUS (and potential shoo-in for himself as POTUS).

If I may be so crass, they have a lot of black in them and represent. It’s just humor. Or an attempt.

The best thing for the Democrats would be to give Kamala Harris the vacant Senate seat. She’s been a complete failure as VP, and they really need to push her out of the way for 2024.

But that would be a painful and humiliating demotion for the lovely Kamala. I don’t see how they could convince her to go with it.

She may have been born in L.A., but she became part of a foreign monarchy.

They follow requirements, but maybe not the Constitutional ones. It has to be someone who already made their bones in the Democrat Party. If he actually tried to name Markle, or some other celebrity, bloody murder would be screamed.

The problem he now has is trying to find a black woman he can appoint who can be blackmailed into stepping down so he can appoint himself to that senate seat after his failed bid for the presidency inevitably happens.

You know he is coveting what would be a virtual life time senate seat not affected by term limits.

Yeah replace a 90 year old woman with a 77 year old woman simply because she is black.

No racists like the Democrat racist party.

Look, haven't black men suffered enough? I don't like the fact they victimize black men, but I benefit from the white privilege of not having to.

Lamar Odom and Tristan Thompson were great basketball players, then they dated Kardashians. Now they live lives of quiet desperation.

And don't forget Bruce Jenner.

Yes, they are intoxicated by power and the royal treatment of elected office.

Markle is not black.

No, but she is probably at least an Octaroon, and that's close enough.
