Newsom to Personally Appoint California’s Top Politicians Following Feinstein’s Death
Newsom’s Sole Authority in Shaping California’s Leadership Landscape
California Governor Gavin Newsom faces the responsibility of appointing a successor for the late Senator Dianne Feinstein, consolidating his influence over key state positions.
Feinstein’s Passing Triggers Appointments
Senator Feinstein’s recent demise at the age of 90 necessitates Newso’s appointment of her replacement, adding to the significant roles he has already filled, including that of Senator Kamala Harris in 2021.
Newsom’s Previous Appointments
Newsom, having already appointed California’s two senators, filled the role of Secretary of State with Alex Padilla and nominated Shirley Weber for the same position. Furthermore, he selected Rob Bonta as the state’s attorney general in 2021.
Newsom’s Commitment and Recent Adjustments
Initially committing to appointing a Black woman to the U.S. Senate in the event of Feinstein’s passing, Newso later hinted at choosing a caretaker to avoid influencing the upcoming primary elections. This adjustment drew attention and commentary from various quarters.
Criticisms and Expectations
Some critics, including James Gallagher, California Assembly Republican Leader, express concern over potential bias in Newso’s selection process based on race and gender. They emphasize the need for the chosen candidate to focus on addressing critical issues like inflation, homelessness, and crime.
