Oprah Winfrey, Meghan Markle reportedly floated as potential replacements for Dianne Feinstein

They both have the $$ and the notoriety to buy the seat.  Oprah may not want it, but I can see Markle wanting that seat; afterall she was cheated out of royalty and this would be her claim to fame.

Oprah Winfrey, Meghan Markle reportedly floated as potential replacements for Dianne Feinstein

Oprah Winfrey and Meghan Markle are reportedly among those being considered to replace late Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.

Winfrey's name is among those being floated for the role, according to Newsmax and The Desert Sun, but the successful TV host-turned-billionaire book publisher and entrepreneur indicated as recently as in May that she "is not considering the seat should it become vacant," according to the Los Angeles Times.

It was announced Friday that Feinstein died at age 90. All eyes have since turned to Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who will appoint someone to serve out the remaining 13 months of Feinstein's term. The two term governor, who attended the second GOP debate in Simi Valley last week on behalf of President Biden's re-election campaign to lead counter Republican messaging, has stated in the past he will appoint a Black woman to the Senate in the event of Feinstein's passing.

Newsom reportedly has national ambitions of his own amid rumors of a potential 2028 presidential run. As recently as earlier last week, Newsom insisted he would not challenge Biden in 2024. Meanwhile, sources told The Daily Mail that the Duchess of Sussex's name has also been thrown in the ring as Feinstein's potential replacement. ................

She'll have to compete with Barbara Lee -- Markle is a woman of color so she fits the criteria. Who cares if she has political experience?  She's entitled, remember.  *****rollingeyes*****

Markle has a title of nobility - Duchess - bestowed upon her by the U.K., and I believe that disqualifies her.

I'm no Royal watcher but I thought the King defrocked her rawist ass.

Nope.

She is still the Duchess of Sussex.  Her official titles are The Duchess of Sussex, Countess of Dumbarton and Baroness Kilkeel.  Source:  https://www.royal.uk/the-duchess-of-sussex

I would say Oprah. A black woman placeholder. No political favoritism. Not planning on running (so she says). Wonder how much say Schiff has?

It appears neither Orpha or Merkle checked enough boxes to make the final cut. Just being half or full black is not enough these days.

A black lesbian who doesn't even live in California got the nod. Maximum idiocy.
