The death of Sen. Dianne Feinstein
The race is currently a three-person contest between a trio of Democratic House members who are seemingly representative of three different facets of the party. And finally, Rep. Barbara Lee, a Black activist and the most liberal member of Congress out of the three, rounds out the contest. Newsom has previously promised to pick a Black woman to fill Feinstein's position if it opened up before the 2024 election, and many Democrats believed he would tap Lee. , Newsom said he would instead appoint somebody not involved in the primary contest to replace her.
On X, formerly Twitter, the governor posted a tribute to Feinstein's legacy, calling her an inspiration not only to him but to his wife and daughter. Times points to an interim replacement with solid Democratic footing. Some names put forward include Shirley Weber, the California secretary of state; Holly Mitchell, a Los Angeles County supervisor; or civil rights lawyer Angela Glover Blackwell. The Senate is closely divided along party lines, even more so after Feinstein's death.
