@Smersh @LindaGoodliffe Gavin Newsome can appoint someone to the seat until next years election.
@JPSCHWEIZER63 only once the seat is vacated and without a recall mechanism, that's not happening except via natural causes.
Which would be horrendous - literally worked to death for politics.
@LindaGoodliffe it's Pelosi. She's pulling strings to hold the seat open for Schiff since he wouldn't win a special election if she resigned.
