Gavin Newsom's plan for replacing Dianne Feinstein is 'insulting' to Black women, California Dem says

  • Governor Newsom faces backlash for suggesting that a Black woman could be appointed as caretaker for the Senate, which is insulting to the countless Black women who have contributed to the Democratic Party's success.
  • The appointment of a Black woman to the Senate, if necessary, should not be tokenistic but rather based on merit and representation, as Black women deserve more than just a participation trophy.
  • Senator Feinstein's absence and decision not to run for re-election have sparked speculation about her replacement, who could be chosen by Newsom. Potential candidates include Reps. Adam Schiff, Katie Porter, and Barbara Lee.
