California's New Senator - Laphonza Butler

[Axtremus]

Reportedly that’s a large part of Newsom’s calculation; he does not want to tip the scale for any candidate who wants to run for that seat in 2024, so he picked an “outsider.”

Of the 37 million resident of California, he couldn't fine one, just one, who is a black woman who actually lives in the state?

Yeah, I'm thinking altruism is not a believable reason.

Who says anything about altruism? It's quite likely Mr. Newsom has selfish reasons to not appear to tip the scale for the 2024 election at this time.

So while Butler and Newsom still have a chance to dot all their i's and cross all their t's before Wednesday, …

The problem, if there is one, can still be fixed.

I think the author pointed out, pretty clearly, that there is a problem.

Sorry, ladies that read these threads. Or, maybe not. Still funny.

Sen. Butler says she will not run for the full term.

Once she gets a taste of the high life, you never know.
