Governor Newsom has chosen California Secretary of State Alex Padilla as Harris' replacement.

Quote:
Padilla, a son of Mexican immigrants, will be the first Latino senator for California, where Latinos represent nearly 40% of the state’s population.

Padilla will finish Harris’ term through 2022, when he will be up for reelection if he chooses to run.

She will be sworn in by Justice Sonia Sotomayor as well.

I think it would be far more interesting if Kamala Harris was sworn in by Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Seriously, if Democrat and Republicans want more unity in the country that would be a start.

No worries... they don't.

The division allows the public to cancel ourselves out, and the politicians can do what they want.

If the people become unified, then we run things.

So it is to their advantage to have the public fighting amongst ourselves.

Have the complaints started yet? One less woman of color in the Senate. Outrageous.

Kamela seems like a good VP choice. I was going to vote for Bernie for president, but since he left , I was hoping sleepy Joe would pick Kamela as VP to give him a push whenever he got stuck. She will probably take the reigns of an otherwise disoriented president.

I think she will help out the current democratic ideals. When she was running for president, she seemed to have a few likeable ideas. I especially liked that she was all for giving people the 2k for the pandemic stimulus, when Nancy wouldn't touch it. Only her and Bernie said they wanted to give a check of 2 thousand. Everybody else was acting like the money was going to come out of their pockets.

... but because of the 50/50 Senate tie she'll be participating in almost every vote as President of the Senate.

Colbert made a joke about it: "Leave it to America to vote for the first ever woman of color Vice President, then ask her to do her old job still, but not pay her for it."

I predicted Kamala Harris would be picked one reason there was zero chance of a Republican ever winning the senate seat she holds which would keep the senate under Democrat control. Democrats really out performed I was surprised they were able to get both Georgia senate seats. Stacy Abrams demonstrated that if citizens vote the GOP fails.
