    Who will Replace Kamala’s Senate seat?

    I personally would like to see Adam Schiff, because this is someone that pisses Republicans off the most, however that risks losing a seat in the House.

    Here’s some other options:

    Representative Karen Bass
    California AG Xavier Becerra
    Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia
    Representative Barbara Lee
    Secretary of State Alex Padilla

    There’s also a slew of other candidates.

    Edit: Under California Law the Governor nominates someone which after 2 years they must run for re-election.

    Nancy Pelosi.

    Her House seat is incredibly safe, it's been D vs D in the general in the last 3 elections.

    Hopefully someone who will put America first. However we're talking about California and Democrats. California Democrats put the DNC first.

    Did you donate money to Trump? I just want to know how it feels to donate to a billionaire? What sort of feeling is that? You know... not wanting to pay taxes, because Americans don’t need healthcare... while writing a check to a billionaire, just because he asked? What feeling is that?

    The feeling of stepping outside for some fresh air but instead immediately going inside of a fat rendering plant.

    Pride, I'd imagine. There's nothing more conservative capitalist than spending money to hurt people.

    California Democrats advocate for what the people of California want. Which is the entire god damned fucking point of representative democracy.

    I think Pelosi is better served in her current position in the house, rallying against the republicans there.

    California Democrats put California voters first. As they should.

    The Senator from California should be representing California.

    That's . . . that's how this works.

    Kevin DeLeon is certainly high up in the running

    Are you saying California citizens want rampant homeless issues and streets covered in human feces and used heroine needles while nancy pelosi enjoys her high end ice cream out of her $22,000 fridge? If so then San Francisco and LA are doing amazing jobs.

    How much is Trump’s fridge? I know one thing California should do... not listen to Trump supporters, who complain about 22k refrigerators... how much is Mari Largo? Where is your, Americans are dying, as Trump plays golf at his multimillion dollar golf course, that we pay 3$ for a glass of water... I did say we, since Trump charges US for him self to stay at his property.

    Yeah... 100%... nominate someone that will not demand this sort of reaction from their constituents.

    Karen Bass maybe? I honestly don't know much about California politics. Dream would be Katie Porter since she's my favorite congress person, BUT from what I understand she's not in a safe blue district, so probably not.
