Butler would be a formidable contender if she were to enter the race for Feinstein’s seat.
Sunday night appointment of Laphonza Butler to fill the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s U.S. Senate seat
In a statement on social media Monday, Butler said “I’m honored to accept Gov. Gavin Newsom’s nomination to be U.S. Senator for a state I have made my home and honored by his trust in me to serve the people of California and this great nation.” But Lee, the only Black woman already in the race, criticized Newsom over the notion of a “participation trophy” appointment and several Black leaders and progressive groups urged the governor to give the appointment to Lee.
Dan Schnur, a political analyst who teaches at the University of Southern California and UC-Berkeley, said it’s not assured Butler will run.
