Several leading black Democrats are criticizing California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) for nominating Laphonza Butler of Maryland to fill Dianne Feinstein’s Senate vacancy instead of current Senate candidate Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA).
Butler has lived in California, and owns a home in the state, but lives in Maryland and must register to vote in the Golden State before becoming constitutionally eligible to replace Feinstein, who died Friday at the age of 90.
Lee has been running to replace Feinstein, whose retirement was announced earlier this year. Butler may be able to run for the post as well, once she has taken office, angering Lee’s backers.

Oregon has a “Senator” who lives in New York...Wyden
Primarily re: abortion. She's top dog of EMILY'S list, which literally means "Early money is like yeast" in that it rises like leavening bread dough.... get those fund raising efforts off to a fast start!
But Maryland is so very, very far away from California. Really, a bridge too far, I would think.
Yes well as a 43 year mooch on the congressional/senatorial cash wagon, the rules do not apply to Seasoned communists like Wyden.
California is 40% hispanic, less than 5% blacks.
Well for the Alt Left it does make better political sense to place in an open Senate seat a 44 year old radical black, homosexual/racist/abortionist instead of a 77 year old radical black racist abortionist. This way they get to check off 4 boxes on their quote list instead of 3 plus she will be in the seat 40 years instead of 10.
I doubt Newsom got a say in who got the seat
ZIP!!
She has the critical experience needed—bribery and money laundering.
Who cares. One fascist lefty is just like any other.
California Latinos got their turn when Alex Padilla was selected to replace Kamala Harris.

He picked her as a placeholder.
Don’t be surprised if he runs for the office.
Nothing would surprise me at all in calif politics 🙄 😒 😕
It’s an outrage! Newsom should have chosen Maxine Waters, she’s way more qualified.
