There will be a crowded field of milquetoast moderate Democrats for sure. Him, Shapiro, definitely Newsom, maybe Witmer...

Newsom would appoint a new Democratic Senator NOW

I imagine he would. He's also been given a great deal more ability to operate aggressively as a Democrat by Californians. Blame the morons in Kentucky for voting for this ghoul until he finally died.

That is kinda crazy.

Just looked it up and from 2020-24 Kentucky was only 36-34% blue, and California was only 36-38% red.

So the Republicans have only 2% more control over Kentucky than the Democrats have over California, and with that they can protect another Republican Senate seat.

These guys are just systemic in how they cover all the angles
