In 2021 Newsom promised to appoint a Black woman should Feinstein’s seat become open. Meanwhile, a 2024 Senate campaign is underway to fill the seat when the senator’s term ends in January 2025.
Questions have been raised in recent years about Feinstein’s memory and mental acuity, though she has defended her effectiveness. Since her return to Washington, she has at times appeared confused during brief discussions with reporters. Her office also disclosed she suffered a bout of encephalitis, or inflammation of the brain, which can also be caused by shingles.
"He made the commitment and I do not believe there is any wiggle room for the governor not to honor his commitment," said Kerman Maddox, a Los Angeles-based Democratic strategist and fundraiser who is Black. "The last thing you want to do if you are thinking about running for president is alienating the nominating wing of the Democratic Party," Pitney said.In filling a Senate vacancy, Newsom has the authority to name a successor. He could even pick himself, though that is unlikely. State rules dictate when an election would have to be held.He could get entangled in the ongoing Senate campaign and choose one of the declared candidates to fill a Feinstein vacancy.
Lee "is far and away the most qualified African American woman to replace Sen. Feinstein if a vacancy becomes available," Maddox said.This week, "The Issue Is" celebrates our fifth anniversary. To mark the occasion, FOX 11’s Elex Michaelson is joined, once again, by the show’s very first guest: California Governor Gavin Newsom.
