California Gov. Gavin Newsom names Laphonza Butler, a former adviser to Kamala Harris' 2020 presidential campaign, to fill Sen. Dianne Feinstein's seat.
Senator Dianne Feinstein's body returned home to the Bay Area Saturday night, and was transported to a funeral home in San Francisco by a procession.California Gov. Gavin Newsom will name Laphonza Butler, a Democratic strategist and adviser to Kamala Harris' presidential campaign, to fill the vacant U.S. Senate seat held by the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a spokesman in his office said Sunday.
Democrats control the Senate 51-49, though Feinstein's seat is vacant. A quick appointment by Newsom will give the Democratic caucus more wiggle room on close votes, including nominations that Republicans uniformly oppose. She could be sworn in as early as Tuesday evening when the Senate returns to session.
Butler has never held elected office but has a long track record in California politics. She served as a senior adviser to Harris's 2020 presidential campaign while working at a political firm filled with strategists who have worked for Newsom and many other prominent state Democrats. She also briefly worked in the private sector for Airbnb.
