"Oprah Winfrey and Meghan Markle Considered as Replacements for Dianne Feinstein"

Oprah Winfrey and Meghan Markle are reportedly being considered as potential replacements for the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein in California. While Winfrey has previously stated that she is not considering the seat, sources suggest that Markle's name has also been thrown into the mix. California Governor Gavin Newsom, who will appoint someone to serve out the remaining 13 months of Feinstein's term, has expressed his intention to appoint a Black woman. However, his decision risks alienating key allies and Democratic constituents. Other potential candidates include Rep. Barbara Lee, Secretary of State Shirley Weber, and Los Angeles County Supervisor Holly Mitchell.
