California Gov. Gavin Newsom will appoint Laphonza Butler, a Democratic strategist and adviser, to fill the vacant U.S. Senate seat previously held by Sen. Dianne Feinstein. Butler will be the only Black woman serving in the Senate and the first openly LGBTQ person to represent California in the chamber. Her appointment will give the Democratic caucus more flexibility on close votes.
Some in Washington fear that President Biden is "shackled" to Vice President Kamala Harris and worry about her potential as president if Biden doesn't finish his term. Replacing Harris would be difficult due to her identity as the first female, Black, and Asian-American VP. Changing the VP would also raise questions about Biden's judgment. The Indian-American community, which could be crucial in a future election, might also be turned off if Harris is replaced. One potential solution could be for Harris to be appointed to fill a Senate vacancy in California, allowing Biden to choose a new running mate. However, such a move would require political maneuvering that Biden and Harris may not be capable of executing successfully.
