Should camela harris Resign Her Senate Seat Now and Let California Voters Decide Who Should Serve Out Her Term?

@TheDoctorIsIn

Of course.

Why would that mean she should resign? There’s important work for her to do in the Senate in the next two months.

So was she at the Judiciary hearing today??

I have no idea. Nor do I care.

I have no idea. Nor do I care.

It’s a prime committee assignment.

You just said she has important work left to do.

Make up your minds.

[TheDoctorIsIn]

I think you missed my point.

How has something like this been handled in the past?

IMO, it’s only another few months, the CA voters can wait for the outcome of the November elections.

I think it’s always been handled by the governor appointing a successor. But that gives them way too much power in my opinion.

His appointment may be a placeholder until a special election can be arranged, but why wait? There’s an election in November anyway.

The replacement appointed by Newsom will serve the remainder of Harris’ term which ends in 2022.

There’s no special election by California law.

She will resign whenever she is ■■■■■■■ good and ready to resign and not when some random internet poster thinks she should resign.

That being said, she will most probably submit her resignation to be effective at noon on January 3rd, 2021, so that her successor will have favorable seniority in new class of Senators.

Says the random internet poster.

Lighten up Francis!

These resurrected threads are sweet.

Harris, who was elected to her first Senate term in 2016, would be up for reelection in 2022. Whoever replaces her will get a couple of years in the Senate before running (Newsom has ruled out a special election to fill out the term).

There ya go.

Katie Porter would be awesome.

Yes. Let’s do that.

The word is that the shortlist is down to 1; California Secretary of State Alex Padilla

Using that logic would it be fair to extrapolate that Trump should also resign today?
