All eyes are on California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) following the death of Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) Friday, to see if he will make good on his promise to appoint a black woman to her seat.
On March 15, 2021, Newsom was asked by MSNBC host Joy Reid if he would consider nominating an African American woman to replace then-Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), as Breitbart News reported.
Newsom replied, “We have multiple names in mind, the answer is yes.”
