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.

Why would Harris move from being the President of the Senate to being one of 100? It’s not like CA is in play?
Whoever is floating this stuff doesn’t understand how this stuff works. Harris holds ALL the cards.
That would actually be quite astute.
Otherwise she gets replaced at the whim of whoever (Obama) is really running things.
Someone backing her has juice as evidenced by what happened at the Kevin Costner event.
Hard to say what is happening. maybe ARI Emanuel ego is so big he thought he could turn her around...or perhaps Serena Williams strongarmed him...but whatever is going on someone is still backing her.
Or maybe Ari cut Costner a deal on fees to let Markle try to steal the show.
Whatever the case, don’t count her out yet. Could be anti monarchists working behind the scenes.
Her mom is black.
It was good enough for Obama.
Indeed.
She never relinquished her citizenship.
She would fit right in. Total grifter.
I would like to be tuned in to the bidding. This is a valuable seat. Worth a billion, at least.
I believe it’s either southwest Asia or southeast Europe, unless I’m otherwise mistaken.
Exactly
She is part of a foreign monarchy.
I like the way you think. It is very devious.
I believe you have a pretty good read on a high-strength pathway into the future that deftly solves a big problem for the cabal the owns the current President office. It could happen just the way you describe.
Perhaps they may offer you a job as a counsellor or handler for the next Presidential administration, the so-called "Unity Team" that replaces the Biden-Harris group. I hear the job pays pretty well and has lots of perks.
The 2024 Elections? No need to worry. They have already been "fortified".
She claims to be 43% Nigerian. She is a true nutcase.Prince William better keep her away from his family
It’s in the Asian Caucasus. It’s between Turkey and Azerbaijan, and above Iran.
Doubt it
The Twenty-fifth Amendment states:
Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.
Thus, in the absence of a majority the candidate would be denied the office. Kamala would have to vacate the VP before a replacement could be named, so there would be no tie breaker by the President of the Senate. In addition, it would have to be approved by the House.
One more complication would be that Newsom would need to resign as Governor in order to be confirmed by the House and Senate, so in the end Kamala could be appointed Senator no problem, but Newsom could/would be left out in the cold.
Black lesbian replacement coming up. I
Harris is too stupid and bad-tempered to play those cards. And her backers appear to be on a losing side in the factional conflicts within the cabal. She is not getting a lot of help from people who we might expect should be helping her.
One way or another, I believe she will be forced out. It is only a matter of the Democrat party owners working the details, and exploiting such opportunities as may come up. They are very good at that.
The Rats always have a plan and 4 backup plans.
This was a surprise to no one in CA
I can see RINOs crossing over.
Plenty of brain dead people to choose from.
