California Gov. Gavin Newsom will appoint Laphonza Butler to Dianne Feinstein's Senate seat.
Emily's List President Laphonza Butler address a Biden-Harris campaign rally at the Mayflower Hotel on June 23, 2023, in Washington, D.C.California Governor Gavin Newsom has selected someone to fill the Senate seat left vacant following Sen. Dianne Feinstein's death last Friday. Newsom is set to appoint EMILY'S List President Laphonza Butler to the position, the Governor's office confirmed to ABC News.
Newsom previously pledged to fill any Senate vacancy with a Black woman, making comments on MSNBC's "The Reid Out," with host Joy Reid. Emily's List President Laphonza Butler address a Biden-Harris campaign rally at the Mayflower Hotel on June 23, 2023, in Washington, D.C.“If in fact Dianne Feinstein were to retire, will you nominate an African American woman to restore the seat that Kamala Harris is no longer in the United States Senate?” Reid asked in 2021. “And do you have a name in mind?”Many thought he might appoint Rep.
But on NBC's "Meet the Press" earlier this month, Newsom said that he would not appoint any of the three, a group that includes Reps. Katie Porter and Adam Schiff as well as Lee, to the seat if it became vacant. Newsom said he would instead make an "interim appointment" to replace Feinstein so as to not "tip the balance" in the competitive Senate primary.
