that Katie Porter is totally up to the job and would deliver in spades. Katie Porter and Kamala Harris had a sterling working relationship that goer back when Harris was California's AG and Porter was at UCI law school. Harris appointed Katie to be California's watchdog against the banks.....and, Boy howdy, she delivered in spades.

The only down side would be the high probability Porters district would revert back to red

That was probably one of the top reasons why I wanted Rice. I wanted to keep Kamala Harris in the Senate. It may take us another 20 years to get a black woman in the Senate again.

There is a woman running in Tennessee, but she's a long-shot.

If it's possible for the California governor to appoint another black woman senator, I will be very happy.

He was planning on running when Kamala stepped up, and so he decided to wait till later.

And now, later has arrived. I would love to see him as Senator Schiff.

Porter would be good for the DiFi replacement. She is my Rep, the district is far from safe, would hate to have a MAGAt get the House Seat, when she could hold the seat for a second term and then go for the Senate Seat.

...in the House. Each in their own way was exceptional, and passionate about the Constitution and governance.

I don’t “know” Karen Bass nearly as well, which is why I didn’t list her.

But we have sooooo many amazing pols to choose from, and there's really no chance of losing any seat to a Republican.
