No candidate should be given an unfair advantage by running as the incumbent.
On Sunday, California’s governor extricated it, saying anyone chosen to fill a vacant U.S. Senate seat would be a placeholder until voters have their say in 2024.
There is, of course, no vacancy at the moment. But speculation swirls apace, given the fragile mental and physical state of California’s 90-year-old senator, Dianne Feinstein.First, though, let us step back in time. The governor needed all the political help he could muster and there was a danger of losing support among Black voters, a key Democratic constituency. Some were angry that Newsom had chosen Alex Padilla, a Latino and California’s secretary of state, to replace Kamala Harris when she left the Senate to become vice president.
