Calls for Change in California Senate Representation Grow Louder
TL;DR Summary
California Governor Gavin Newsom's promise to appoint a Black woman senator if either of California's U.S. Senate seats opened up has come under scrutiny as he has remained silent about whom he supports in the state's 2024 Senate race to succeed Sen. Dianne Feinstein. Black leaders in California are questioning Newsom's sincerity, especially since the field includes just one formidable Black woman candidate: Democratic Rep. Barbara Lee of Oakland. With Feinstein's retirement plans already cemented, some Black elected leaders and political activists are questioning why Newsom hasn't already endorsed Lee.
