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.

I read an article today on five possible picks and her name wasn’t mentioned.
It has to be a Satanist. A Satanic state warrants a Satanic US Senator.
Millions mourning finesteens death? Really?
Sheesh...
Perversion reigns Supreme.
Somehow I don’t think the people at the Anaheim rally will be pleased.
I love it. Adam Schiff must be furious.
He'll slink back under the baseboard like a good little cockroach.
I think Meghan was just running a little PR campaign there. She saw an opportunity to get her name in the news for a couple of days, and took it.
Pretty clever. For Meghan, that is.
LOL!!! even chatGPT cannot tell me where the name came from, or when it was first used...
says it’s NON-ethnic or national
of course not...
The Phonz!
A black female? I’m shocked!!!
Fun Fact: Gavin Newsom is RELATED to the late Diane Feinstein. They are cousins, twice removed!
Most people already know Gavin is related to Nancy Pelosi.
He is her nephew by way of extended family marriage.
I hope so, but dollars to doughnuts, he won’t be posting to THIS thread!
Whew. I was worried there for a minute /s
But I knew that I was correct and that that poster wouldn't know the truth, if it crawled up his body and bit off his nose.
I’m guessing this is a fairly noncontroversial pic, so long as one ignores the fact that he chose based on race. I doubt he’ll get much blowback on this, so he can concentrate on being ready to take over from Biden for 2024
I had read that at one point, Meghan was campaigning so hard to be on the short list of consideration for that spot, she was calling Gov. Newsom’s office multiple times every day in the week. It got so bad, Gavin had to tell his office to BLOCK any calls by Meg, or anyone calling herself
“The Duchess”.
Can you imagine living with someone like that?
Harry got just the sort of person he deserved.
“done in with the expediency one would expect.”
He had LOTS of time to anticipate Feinstein croaking.
That’s the third question the first two don’t count
