With the passing of long serving Senator Dianne Feinstein Friday morning, Governor Newsom has the rare second chance to pick California’s next Senator. There is another candidate, one which would solve several problems the Democrats currently have, while allowing Newsom to keep his promise: Kamala Harris. Let’s consider several factors with this potential appointment:
First, Harris is seen by many Democrats as a drag on the administration. She has been a terrible Vice President, as correctly reflected in her low approval ratings. The
Second, the only person who believes that Kamala Harris could ever be elected President is Kamala Harris. If the offer is made to her, insider Democrats will need to meet with her to convince her of that cold hard fact. Those discussing this could present her with the following choice: a long career in politics as a Senator from California, or a future out of politics to go on the rubber chicken circuit delivering speeches for fees or occasional talk shows to stay in the limelight.
Let’s consider this from Newsom’s perspective:
Selecting Harris would qualify, in the minds of many, that he has selected a black woman, despite her mixed-race heritage. It would also allow him to make the claim that he selected the ‘most qualified’ person for the job. Since Harris was previously a Senator, the argument would hold water.
The biggest obstacle for Harris becoming the next Senator from California is probably Harris herself, as her own ego will be the primary resistive force to her decision. Granted, this is a long shot, but no other selection would serve to benefit the Democrat party in general and Gavin Newsom specifically.
Also on the plus side: 49 states would be spared from having much to do with this horrid woman.

One thing’s for certain.
Becoming a US senator gives her a license to steal a massive fortune with no fear of arrest or prosecution.
Biden/Harris ticket remains intact for 2024. End of discussion.
Maybe Newsom could appoint a horse to the Senate.
I suggest we make a human centipede out of Schiff, Oprah, and Markle and appoint it as our Senator. Everybody gets a trophy!
Or he could appoint himself like the narcissist he is.
Kerry is not a resident of California.
How about a Ghetto-potamus Stacy Abrams? I hear she works for peanuts.
that was my theory
another consideration from Kommiela’s perspective
after her vp term is over she’s done as far as national office goes
as a CA senator she may be there for life
Whoever Newsom appoints will be a liberal pos, so taking Kamala out of the line for president would be a win for the country.
I have nightmares about Newsom handing the job to that race hustler extraordinaire, “Gasoline” Maxine Waters.
“ Maybe Newsom could appoint a horse to the Senate.”

Or…. MAXINE WATERS!
Good point. It is in the actual piece, but was taken out to meet the 300 word max limit.
Ditto...Joe ain’t going nowhere
appoint harris, joe appoints him vice, joe steps down, newsome runs as incumbent with a VP of his choice.
will Joe go along with it? probably not.
With Meg and Dufus the senate could get two drama queens for the price of one. Aren’t we always the lucky ones? a Royal Squad, how charming.
How about we find an old farmer who has an old Poland China Sow that is too old for breeding and the farmer is tired of feeding. That seems to be a good replacement for Feinstein in my humble opinion.
“appoint harris, joe appoints him vice, joe steps down...”
I don’t think Harris would swallow her pride.
On the other hand it wouldn’t be the first time she swallowed to advance her political career.
