Opinion: What will happen if Dianne Feinstein resigns from the Senate?
California Democrats have acted as if both this state’s Senate seats automatically belong to them from the first moment it became clear longtime Sen. Dianne Feinstein must step down sometime within the next 20 months.
All three are actively raising money and priming supporters to vote next March, when they figure the California primary election will cut the field down to two of them, for a Democrat-on-Democrat contest in the November 2024 general election. Put another Republican – say Northern California state Sen. Brian Dahle for one possible example – into the running, and GOP voters would have two choices.
In fact, Democrat-on-Democrat races are fairly common in this state, where registered Republicans are outnumbered almost 2-1.
