Opinion: John Phillips: London Breed could be on Newsom’s shortlist if Sen. Feinstein steps down
Ever since California’s senior U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein announced that she would not be seeking another six-year term in 2024, conventional wisdom has been that the battle for her replacement would be among three Democrats: Burbank Congressman Adam Schiff, Orange County Congresswoman Katie Porter, and Oakland Congresswoman Barbara Lee.Campaign donations are a reliable barometer of enthusiasm for a particular candidate.That puts her just slightly ahead of David DePape.
If Dianne Feinstein were to vacate her seat before her term expires, Newsom would have the responsibility of appointing her successor.In March of 2021, MSNBC’s Joy Reid asked Newsom if he would commit to naming a Black woman to the Senate were Feinstein to step down, and whether he had thought of particular replacements.
And we can definitely count on Newsom to keep his word. Just ask anybody who works at the French Laundry.But, not so fast. Whether he admits it or not, Newsom is running for president…and the new Democratic primary calendar has South Carolina voting first. Whatever decision he makes will be intended to please that audience, not the people of California.
