Column: Feinstein needs to ask herself some questions

Sen. Feinstein arrives to the Senate carriage entrance of the Capitol on April 27. Feinstein would probably be better off personally just walking away from all the sniping and growing pressure to get lost, dark drama that she doesn’t deserve. In 2021, Newsom was trying to appease Black women who were angry because he didn’t replace former Sen. Kamala Harris with another Black woman after she became vice president. If Lee were appointed by Newsom to fill the brief remainder of Feinstein’s term, she would receive a substantial campaign boost as a newly crowned senator. Like Feinstein, if Fetterman resigned, a Democratic governor would choose his successor, thus preserving the party’s razor-thin Senate majority.
