That would be a major blow to schiff’s chances and the California delegation would’ve gone from two Jewish senators (boxer and fienstein) to zero (becerra and Lee) if that happens.

First, Barbara Lee is 77. No, Newsome is not appointing someone that old. Further, the Af-Am constituency in California has been dropping fast - now down to only 7% of the state's population.

If anything, I could see him appointing like Rep. Robert Garcia. The CA Democratic party is in dire need of new blood.

Second, drop the weird anti-Semitic conspiracy. Jeez.

+1 there is no way Barbara Lee would be appointed since it would make no political sense for Newsome.

Why wouldn't it make sense for Newsome if he is looking to build a more national profile and constituency for ambitions beyond California?

💯

The anti Barbara Lee posters don’t understand the cross cutting dynamics.

1. Newsom has already said he wants to appoint a black woman

2. Newsom needs to make massive inroads with the black community if he has any shot at the White House

3. Newsom doesn’t want to appoint someone too young that could lock up the senate seat for decades.

4. Newsom is a Bay Area dem - he’s rather not see a socal person get the seat

Lee checks all the boxes

Lee is running in the primary against Adam Schiff and Katie Porter. There’s no way Newsom is going to put his thumb in that scale by making one of the contenders an incumbent.

Newsom would and tell shifty Schiff and white Board Katie to suck it

Because if they complain, it torpedoes their reputations — imagine complaining about a black woman

The optics would be disastrous

I don't think Katie Porter cares that much about optics lol
