Gov. Gavin Newsom said he would appoint a Black woman to the next vacant U.S. Senat seat, giving Lee an incumbent advantage if Feinstein quits before 2024.
Early on, she announced plans to leave office when her term expires at the end of December 2024, after her fifth full term in the office where she’s been the most durable of the last half-century’s California politicians.
Add him to the mix, though, and Republican voters and others who don’t like the idea that Democrats figure this seat somehow should belong to them forever now have someone to vote for. Put another Republican — say Northern California state Sen. Brian Dahle for one possible example — into the running, and GOP voters would have two choices.
Now mix in the possibility that Feinstein succumbs to steady pressure on her to step down even sooner than she’s promised. With Gov. Gavin Newsom having committed himself two years ago to appoint a Black woman to the next vacant Senate seat, he would most likely name Lee, who could then identify herself on next year’s ballot as an incumbent, a huge advantage in most political races.
