Note: For those who continue to pretend that Biden will be renominated, please don't read any further or post any inane replies.
CA Sen. Diane Feinstein's death opens up new possibilities for next year's Presidential campaign. With mounting evidence of his family's corrupt business dealings and his cratering approval ratings, President Biden will likely be forced to "retire" (or at least announce that he will not seek reelection) before the end of his term. This will still leave the Democrats with the dilemma of what to do with the even less popular VP Kamala Harris.
With this new Senate vacancy, CA Gov. Newsome has an opportunity to solve this problem for the DNC while boosting his Presidential aspirations at the same time. He has already pledged to appoint a Black Woman to replace Feinstein, and who better than Kamala? With her resignation to rejoin the Senate and Biden's imminent departure, the DNC would have an enhanced opportunity to select more viable candidates for the 2024 election. Biden could appoint another (Black Woman?) successor, while Newsome would become a serious contender for Vice President.
This scenario would allow Newsome to escape his California baggage, whether he was elected or not. In either event, he would instantly become a front runner for a future Presidential nomination. Let the games continue!
