She will be replaced by someone even more destructive to our country. Pelosi is only 83 years old!!!

Fun wrinkle: Gavin wants to make a run at president, so he MAY temper his pick as to pretend he's not the dyed blue leftist that he is…

Likely Selection Criteria :
doesn't hurt newsome's electability
party-obedient
female
feminist ("continues feinstein's legacy")
bonus points for a minority
bonus points for san fransisco associated
aged 25 - 50
politically active

I think he's looking for a CA version of Tulsi Gabbard w/ a bit more party loyalty.

Radio silence on CNN.
Well, sometimes it take a hot minute to be confirmed.
CNN is on on the TVs in our building lobby, and it was breaking news when I walked in at 8:02.

I really disagree. He has to secure the approval of the party bosses so that he can move into the White House in a bit over a year. The party is run by hard left Soros types (and Oprah/Jack/various celebrity billionaires).

It's very likely he sticks to wanting to put a black female communist in there. Kamala would definitely be my first guess, then I really don't know the power ranking of said demographic politico's with California residences.
oh, no doubt they'll vote in lockstep with the party - and anyone who obeys their modern Democrat leadership are functionally maoist - but I think he wants someone who he can pretend is "reasonable" when trying to sell himself nationally.

Admittedly haven't read the thread, so sorry for any duplication.

Is this how that pencil necked **** stick, Schiff, gets into the Senate?

Obviously, once there, he's elected for life.

Actually, Newsom already spoke about this a couple of weeks ago. I wonder why he thought he might need to act.

He was committed to appointing both a black woman and someone who would only serve as a caretaker for the remainder of the term and not enter the election. That made Barbara Lee (age 77) livid.

Nah, FIFY. THIS is all that matters now.
Newsome's electability has 2 parts: the party and the public. He'll want to walk the line. He'll demonstrate loyalty by selecting a loyalist. But if that loyalist has the facade of a left leaning moderate, it'll help him to mascaraed as one as well.

That would be risky for Newsom, politically to diss Congresswoman Lee who is running for the seat. When Newsom appointed Alex Padilla (I know, I know who?) for Kamala's seat, he got grief for not appointing a black woman.

OTOH, Schiff is heavily backed by Pelosi so can he afford to tick her off by appointing Lee and messing with the Dem primary in that way?

Maybe he makes a deal with Pelosi to name her as the placeholder since she's not going to run again anyway?

Considering Feinstein just died in office at 90, I wouldn't count on that. The lust for power and riches highly motivated the corrupt.

So you think Pelosi would run for the senate seat if he appointed her?

If she saw a way to increase her power and riches, yes.

IIRC, shortly after losing the Speakship to McCarthy, she said she would retire, then a few weeks ago, she basically, unofficially announced she was running again for her seat. May have just been the vodka talking, but it wouldn't surprise me.

If he does as he says and only appoints a placeholder, and selects a person not too out-of-step with the party as a whole, I think there is little risk for him. The campaigning for the primary is going to ratchet up in a few months, and that is going to suck all the oxygen out of the room. People aren't going to pay much attention to the lame duck he appoints, which is going to be a D vote regardless.
