And there are few that can top a U.S. Senate seat.harm she may be causing Democrats by not being around to voteMore importantly, Feinstein needs to ask herself whether she’s still capable of performing up to her own high standards.
that she doesn’t deserve. She’s arguably California’s most accomplished senator ever, and nothing can take that away from her. Newsom’s commitment was unfortunate. I say that not because of Lee or anyone else he might choose, but because no governor should lock himself into an ironclad commitment covering a hypothetical future situation. He should leave himself some flexibility to deal with changing circumstances.
The two early Democratic frontrunners — in polling and fundraising — are U.S. Reps. Adam Schiff, 62, of Burbank and Katie Porter, 49, of Irvine. Newsom hasn’t endorsed anyone. Moreover, newly elected Democratic Sen. John Fetterman, 53, of Pennsylvania, still recovering from a stroke last year, was hospitalized for six weeks for treatment of clinical depression. He probably needs to ask himself the same questions Feinstein should. Like Feinstein, if Fetterman resigned, a Democratic governor would choose his successor, thus preserving the party’s razor-thin Senate majority.
Since then, she has missed more than 60 Senate votes and judicial nominations have stalled. Without Feinstein, the committee is mired in a 10-10 partisan deadlock.
