Nancy and Schiff are very tight.
Whomever is in the seat has a big advantage in the next election.

Newsoms job as Governor is far from over and we voted for him to do this job. Three good Dem House members are already running for the Senators seat.
Really?

(2,973 posts)what is to be gained by losing a capable rick star governor for a temporary stint as US Senator?

(2,037 posts)As the old saying goes. But If there is a plus of him moving from governor to senator is his biggest hurdle is that if Florida and Texas. If he does choose to take her seat, it would give him some federal clout he needs to fight the interstate human trafficking that is coming from Texas and Florida. The state level can only do so much. I believe he will give it to a worthy person.
