California Gov. Gavin Newsom will appoint EMILY’s List President Laphonza Butler to fill the seat of the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein, elevating the head of a fundraising juggernaut that works to elect Democratic women who support abortion rights, according to a person familiar with the decision.
Newsom is moving swiftly to name the next senator, two days after Feinstein’s death and just as a perilously split Congress narrowly averted a government shutdown. Senate Democrats are in need of every vote in the closely divided chamber.
The announcement was expected to come Monday, and an adviser to the governor, Anthony York, told POLITICO that Newsom is making his appointment without putting limitations or preconditions on his pick running for the seat in 2024. That means Butler could decide to join the sprawling and competitive field of Democratic contenders seeking to succeed Feinstein, with special elections now layered on top of the March primary and November runoff.
Newsom’s selection of Butler comes at a moment of immense change in California’s political establishment, with millions of people still mourning the death of Feinstein, the barrier-breaking Senate lioness. Meanwhile the California governor, who was mentored by Feinstein, has been grappling with his own personal grief and the political ramifications of his choice to succeed her.

The other senator is Hispanic. Black women are their nose reliable voters/idiots, so that’s why he made this pick. It’ll be pretty funny if she’s unseated by that scumbag Schiff next year.
Thanks.
“Enough with the trans BS.
Whatever her other problems are, she ain’t a man.”

Oh great another corrupt black woman RAT. How long before cash in the freezer, payments to her daughter for nothing, racist accusations towards white folks etc. All the usual we expect because it happens to be true.
Wow. I haven’t followed the Royals much at all outside of the MSM news headlines...I didn’t know most of that, thanks. I have read a bit about Queen Elizabeth II’s historical past after her death, but that’s about it. Anybody who keeps up with current events knows that Harry is a whipped shell of a man and that’s damaged his future. I find it hilarious that nobody talks about Harry’s prospects for anything important, it is always Megan and then most people joke about her.
So a hard code communist!
Yes. Schiff is a person of white.
But then there is the fact that she doesn’t live in California and is registered to vote in Maryland.
Are OPERATION CHAOS hats still available?
“with millions of people still mourning the death of Feinstein..”
I doubt you could find a million people who even knew who she was.

Laphonza-Laphonza! Girl, let your hair down and reap the Golden State for all it’s worth!

I bet Adam sciff is pissed. He thought he’d get the crown next year. We may get rid of him and Katie Porter in one swift move. I like it. Both of them were big pains.
He picked a Hispanic for Harris’ seat. He’s covered. He needed another minority group.
“ Why was my first internal question “is she black?”
Do you imagine there’s a white or Asian named “LaPhonza”?
A real winner. She has licked all of her opponents.
Millions mourning her death, yeah right.
There are hundreds of millions in US not.
T.P.Pole says it for all of us. When I saw the name, I knew she was the right candidate because the tone of her epidermis fit the narrative. Heavens knows if she could be a manager of a local Dairy Queen, but she is black. And Black Lives Matter for America.
Oh great. Another gay porch monkey.
