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 Dung Beetle party picks another homosexual commie RAT minority to have black supremacy over Caucasian Americans. It appears the Dung Beetles are working on having a 100% minority government. Talk about America becoming a third world craphole.
Seems only fitting for the Cauliphonies to have a black, homosexual Senator who used to run SEIU, the international illegal alien union.
Kissing Black Ass is an existential necessity for the Democrat party
The Black minority-majority is so thin that it’s loss is doom for the democrats
This is what I didn't get at first. He must have known Hair Gel would appoint a black woman so why did he bother ... and then it occurred to me, belatedly, that people often don't run to win ... they run to get dupes to donate and then they withdraw after their inevitable loss with a big war chest that they can keep.
In that context all Schiff has to do is keep his fans deluded that he can actually win so they'll keep donating.
I'll tell you who's furious and that's Barbara Lee. She can't claim racism or sexism so I guess she'll hit the ageism angle.
And another ‘Community Organizer’ rises in the ranks. Huzzah! *SPIT*
We’re so screwed. But on the Bright Side, not quite ‘California Screwed.’ That comes later when Newsom is one day _resident.
God Help Us!
All the Latinos in California got screwed
Newsom thinks Californians are not fit for the job
Seriously? She lives And is registered to vote in Maryland? That would be interesting for him to explain.
You beat me to it. I thought she rode off on a white horse with Kip after the wedding.
What is going through the minds of the family when they give out names like this? I call them made up hospital names. “We need to be different, nothing normal like Jane, Sally, Francis, Elizabeth.” Let us make up a phonetic sound and call it a name. Laphonza, sounds like a bad cough from a hyena.
What is you daughters name?
FeMale (pronounced FeeMallee), that be what is on the birth certificate. Along with no fathers name.
“Hundreds, maybe thousands, not milions. The Democrat left didn’t love her. “
It would be cool to see a montage of a “man on the street” interviewer asking ordinary Americans “are you mourning the death of Dianne Feinstein”.
In many cases the response would be “who?”
Lafonza? Is that a latina “The Fonz?”
“But he should have picked a Hispanic male because they’re the largest minority in California, if he’s playing identity politics.”
Blacks are just 5% of California’s population. Asians are 15%. Hispanics 40%. Arguably, whites may be California’s largest minority group.
But why pander to 5%? Heck, at least go Asian...
I predict she will be obedient to her masters.
Why? The Asians are obedient. They'll vote for the Democrst, no matter what.
YAY, verily.
Are there no rich black communist lesbians in California?
We are truly living in clown world.
Di FI is probably rolling over in her CRYPT!
