California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) officially announced his pick to replace Sen. Kamala Harris (D), since she will be leaving to be President-elect Joe Biden s vice president in January, and some Democrats are not happy with what Newsom s pick means for representation.
Newsom picked California Secretary of State Alex Padilla to serve out Harris Senate term. Padilla, a Latino, will be representing a state with one of the highest Latino populations in the country, but some Democrats are unhappy that it also means there will no longer be a black woman in the Senate.
