Newsom names Laphonza Butler, former Kamala Harris adviser, to fill Feinstein's vacant Senate seat
Sen. Dianne Feinstein died on Thursday at the age of 90 after battling a series of illnesses
California Gov. Gavin Newsom named Democratic strategist Laphonza Butler as Sen. Dianne Feinstein's replacement in the U.S. Senate after the longtime Democrat senator died last week at the age of 90, Fox News confirmed late Sunday night.
Butler will finish out the remainder of Feinstein's term in Washington, D.C., ahead of the 2024 election. In a statement, the governor described Butler as an "advocate for women and girls, a second-generation fighter for working people, and a trusted adviser to Vice President Harris."
"As we mourn the enormous loss of Senator Feinstein, the very freedoms she fought for — reproductive freedom, equal protection, and safety from gun violence — have never been under greater assault," Newsom added. "Laphonza will carry the baton left by Senator Feinstein, continue to break glass ceilings, and fight for all Californians in Washington D.C."
Blogger's note: What are her qualifications? Well she is not white, and not a man. She believes in killing the unborn, and not in the responsibility of the woman. She does not like the 2nd amendment, and she believes that guns are violent. She claims that "equal protection", whatever that means in California, is under attack. Like no prosecution for flash mobs that commit smash and grab. Newsom is an evil POS.
