Should Gavin Newsom leave the governorship to take Feinstein's seat?

[The Grand Illuminist]

Sounds like a good idea.

[redqueen]

1. No nt

[kimbutgar]

2. No, as a native Californian we need him to continue doing his excellent job in the state as a

Governor.

I hope he appoints someone from our state legislature.

[jimfields33]

3. Totally his decision. Nobody else gets to decide.

This is one decision that is exclusively his.

[Volaris]

33. Yeah, but can he legally appoint HIMSELF!?

[jimfields33]

37. I'm not sure of California law, but some other states it'd be acceptable.

[Celerity]

38. yes

4. No.

[hlthe2b]

5. No He should announce a placeholder so that the announced candidates for the seat

can fairly compete for it.

[underpants]

7. Some serious back room stuff going down.

Need one has said he would appoint and African American woman if the seat was open.
Nancy and Schiff are very tight.

Whomever is in the seat has a big advantage in the next election.

[obamanut2012]

6. No, he is a good Governor for us

Why would you even think that?

lolz

[Demsrule86]

8. No!

He should not. He could appoint a temp and run in 24.

[beaglelover]

9. No. He should ask Barbara Boxer if she would be willing to go back to DC and complete the term.

[roamer65]

30. +1000

[Recycle_Guru]

32. That is a GREAT idea as she and Feinstein served so long together

and many people in Senate know her well.

[musette_sf]

42. That was my first thought

[madinmaryland]

10. What happened to senator Feinstein?

[Ocelot II]

12. She passed away this morning or last night.

[Timewas]

13. She Died n/t

[Ocelot II]

11. No.

[mcar]

14. No

[demmiblue]

15. Oh, good lawd. n/t

[Attilatheblond]

16. No, there are a lot of other great DEMs in CA

And him in the Guv's office is such a good thing right now.

[Hekate]

17. Why on Earth would you think it would be a good idea? We'd lose a great governor & for what?

Such a move would throw everything into chaos.

Newsom’s job as Governor is far from over and we voted for him to do this job. Three good Dem House members are already running for the Senator’s seat.

Really?

[stopdiggin]

21. +200! why would you even think .. !? -(nt)-

[Fiendish Thingy]

18. For 15 months? No way. Nt

[onecaliberal]

19. No! Not a good idea.

[LoisB]

20. No.

[lees1975]

22. No.

Find the single most progressive liberal California politician who can be appointed who isn't in the congressional delegation and let them have 15 months of fun.

[Recycle_Guru]

28. that is a Great Idea!

[Arazi]

35. Preferably young (to inspire some voters). AA would be another great step

And female

Let’s get a young, black woman as a rising star with some name recognition for the future

[Takket]

23. That would be horribly disruptive to CA

I would not support that at all.

[Sky Jewels]

24. No. Why would that be a good idea?

[ZonkerHarris]

25. Not if he wants to maintain his presidential ambitions for '28

[jcgoldie]

26. he said he doesn't want to influence the primary

That would be pretty hypocritical.

[Recycle_Guru]

27. why does that "sound like a good idea"?

what is to be gained by losing a capable rick star governor for a temporary stint as US Senator?

[The Grand Illuminist]

31. Just because it sounds like good idea does not mean it is so.

As the old saying goes. But If there is a plus of him moving from governor to senator is his biggest hurdle is that if Florida and Texas. If he does choose to take her seat, it would give him some federal clout he needs to fight the interstate human trafficking that is coming from Texas and Florida. The state level can only do so much. I believe he will give it to a worthy person.

[msfiddlestix]

29. Absolutely NOT. He should stay in office and do the work of California Governor, defend and fortify

policies against the evil maggot plotters and dark money to reverse long hard fought for policies put in place during Jerry Brown's and His terms in office.

[Pathwalker]

36. +a million!!!

[FSogol]

34. What if Spartacus had a Piper Cub?

[Celerity]

39. ✈️

[Xavier Breath]

40. Can you imagine the illicit drug-store that was being swallowed

in the writers' room the night they came up with that? I like to imagine the night the show aired, when they were all gathered around watching the show on the monitor, that skit aired and they all looked puzzledly at one another

[we can do it]

41. No
