Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota steps down from House Democratic leadership, fueling speculation about a third-party bid for presidency.
The death of Sen. Dianne Feinstein has put pressure on Gov. Gavin Newsom to choose a successor acceptable to Black Democrats. Newsom's previous decision to replace Sen. Kamala Harris with Sen. Alex Padilla upset Black Democrats, and now there are concerns about his choice for Feinstein's replacement. Rep. Barbara Lee, a Black woman running for Feinstein's seat, would seem like a logical choice, but Newsom previously stated that he would appoint a Black woman on an interim basis. This decision has sparked controversy and protests from Lee and others who believe that appointing a Black woman as a caretaker is insulting. Newsom's relationship with the Black community has been strained, and his decision for Feinstein's replacement will be crucial for his political ambitions.
