The California Senate's Quandary and Dianne Feinstein's Retirement
TL;DR Summary
California Governor Gavin Newsom's promise to appoint a Black woman to replace Senator Dianne Feinstein if she resigned has created a quandary. Newsom risks making more enemies than friends no matter who he selects, and he may be tempted to appoint a temporary "caretaker" who would promise to serve only temporarily and not run for a full term next year. However, many Black women in politics would be disappointed with a caretaker appointment and believe that a full-time appointment would be more appropriate to honor Newsom's pledge.
