California’s Governor Gavin Newsom has committed to nominating a Black woman to the U.S. Senate should an opening arise. The governor’s comments came during an interview on Monday with MSNBC host Joy-Ann Reid on her show, “The ReidOut.”
Reid asked the governor if he would consider nominating an African American woman to restore the Senate seat formerly held by Vice President Kamala Harris if Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) were to retire. Reid also asked if he had any names in mind. Newsom smiled and said, “We have multiple names in mind, and the answer is yes.”
To date, only two Black women have been elected to the U.S. Senate. The first was Carol Moseley Braun, who represented Illinois from 1993 to 1999. Harris was the second, and represented California from 2017 until this year.

The field of Democratic hopefuls for governor in Virginia is historically diverse. But that very diversity and its crowded size are causing a conflict.
That’s because the outside groups formed to support women and candidates of color are still mostly on the sidelines. And it’s leaving former Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a white man and longtime Democratic insider, as the overriding frontrunner with less than three months until the primary.
