The Future of Dianne Feinstein's Senate Seat: Uncertainty Looms.
TL;DR Summary
California Governor Gavin Newsom faces a difficult decision on who to appoint as a replacement for Senator Dianne Feinstein, who is facing health issues and is the oldest member of Congress. Newsom had promised to appoint a Black woman should Feinstein's seat become open, but he also faces a 2024 Senate campaign to fill the seat when the senator's term ends in January 2025. Newsom could choose a caretaker or a declared Senate candidate, but both options come with risks. Meanwhile, a range of names, from obscure to famous, including Oprah Winfrey, have been floated in California circles as possible replacements.
