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.

`appointing the mayor of LA who is incompetent removes a problem and puts her where she can be hidden and ignored.
Kerry wasn’t a resident of Utah when he was elected their Senator.
Newsom said he won’t interfere in the election. Harris would have to be content with being Senator for one year. Then what? SShe wants to run against Padilla for her old seat?
Because it’s so difficult to replace an abortion loving gun grabbing old hag
But wouldn’t Megain have to give up her precious “Duchess” title?
Nice idea. My idea is that he holds a raffle. Raffle tickets cost $1,000 and are open to all California citizens (although he would open it to illegals). California Lottery officials manage the scam, oops I mean the scheme, and winner is appointed interim senator. Money officially goes towards schools, although it'll be diverted anyway to Newsom's pet ideas.
Neither is AOC.

There, fixed it.
why did they pass the CR?
because they are the party of stupid. Dims only need a few Rinos to get it done. will it happen? probably not. but if it did, it’s not a sure bet it wouldn’t pass.
Newsom said he won’t interfere in the election.
that means he is, and willing to again.
WHEN/WHERE was Harris previously a “Senator”???
Will Joe go along with it? probably not.

In which case, he will likely get the Scalia treatment.
