Good afternoon. I am ryan yamamoto. Moments from now california will have a new u. S. Senator. While we wait for the swearing in to begin, there is a little bit more about californias new junior senator. Reaction from the bay area on the selection. Reporter that didnt take long. Governor newsom said he was going to appoint an African American woman and thats what hes done. Shes not from the bay area and shes not even from california. In selecting Laphonza ButlerGovernor Newsom made it sound like it was an off the cuff decision. I am like wait, what about laphonza . Do you have a new number . Sonoma state Political Science professor says there was more thought put into it than that. If you look at the selection, it is fascinating and cynical at the same time. This is a guy not running for president while running for president. At the same time, trying to make history with appointments. Reporter he has done that. Butler will be the second African American woman to serve as california senator and first openly lgbtq person in the position. She leads an Organization Called emilys list that helps women candidates supporting abortion rights. Shes been a close political strategist to Vice PresidentKamala Harris in addition to working for one of the biggest labor unions in the state. All the things would help newsom in a potential run for president. At the same time by picking a political insider, this is someone part of the political lineage and cousin relationship that exists between Governor Newsom and Kamala Harris. Whats rubbing some people the wrong way is the fact that butler lives in maryland. She reportedly owns a home in california and would need to change Voter Registration before being sworn in. That doesnt sit well. We want people who are in our area, have been in our communities, have been on the ground level. Thats unfortunately not the case in this instance. But the councilmember has another reason for being disappointed. Shes a supporter of barbara lee who was hoping to get the appointment to help chances of winning next year. He wouldnt name someone running because he didnt want to influence the primary. But ohms put no restrictions on butler entering the race after in office. I wouldnt appoint someone i didnt respect, admire, can back up and vouch for. I wouldnt say its a double cross. I would say its something that may happen. Reporter would that feel unfair considering that was the reason he gave for not considering barbara lee for the position . It would amplify my disappointment. Reporter is it conceivable he would make the selection and not have a good idea what her plan would be afterwards . That would be called political malpractice by staff if they were to do that. You have some idea. Reporter they say its rare for a political strategist to become the candidate. There is no telling how it may play out. Its like a fascinating case study of what will come over the next one to two years. Reporter the fact he chose someone most people havent heard of shows he is playing chess not checkers. It may not be about the seat in the senate but a seat in the oval office. A live look from washington, dc inside the senate chambers, this is where Laphonza Butler is about to be sworn in by Vice President and former california senator Kamala Harris. Butler is taking the seat held by Dianne Feinstein for more than 30 years. She was appointed by Governor Newsom sunday. I can see it looks like Laphonza Butler in a group coming in and the Vice President is walking in now. The ceremony should be taking place shortly. Are we going to stay with this . Once again Laphonza Butler is about to be sworn in by the Vice President and former california senator Kamala Harris. Butler is taking the seat held by Dianne Feinstein for more than 30 years. Of course last week the late u. S. Senator Dianne Feinstein passed away. It looks like the Vice President is speaking. The term created by the death of the late senator Dianne Feinstein of the state of california. The certificate the clare is advised. Hearing no objection the reading will be waved and printed in full in the record. If the senator designate will present herself at the desk, the chair will administer the oath of office. Please raise your right hand. Do you solemnly swear that you will support and defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic, that you will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, that you take this obligation freely without mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that you will well and faithfully discharge duties of the office upon which you are about to enter so help you god . I will. Congratulations. Congratulations. [ cheering and applause ] you are watching history being made. Its official. California has a new senator. Laphonza butler is now being sworn in, signing in as the new u. S. Senator from the great state of california, being sworn in by the Vice President. Kamala harris is also from california, was flanked by Senate Majority leader chuck schumer, padilla, u. S. Senator from california. Butler is the first openly gay person to represent california in the senate. Butler will be the only black woman in the senate, is no stranger to politics though. Butler recently led emilys list that works to elect candidates who support abortion rights. She has also served as advisers to Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris. Laphonza butler becoming next u. S. Senator from the state of california. Lets go back live to the u. S. Capitol. The house is taking steps in ousting kevin mccarthy. Next will be the actual straight to vacate. That motion to vacate was introduced by matt gaetz. This is after Speaker Mccarthy introduced continuing resolution to keep the government from a shut down. We are told Democratic Leaders told members to vote yes to vacate mccarthy. In a speech on the house floor gaetz accused mccarthy of making a deal. Mccarthy said there was no deal. When asked about the motion on his way to the chamber he said he was feeling fine. We will monitor this and bring you the latest throughout the afternoon on kpix and on cbs news bay area.
