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

[FoxNews] 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 and Prince Harry reside in Montecito, California.

Meghan is definitely a long-shot but in the craziness that is US politics these days it's not an impossibility. Crazier things have happened," a major Democratic donor told the Mail.

Markle's name was reportedly considered for the U.S. Senate before the 2020 election when Biden chose Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate. At that time, a senior Labour Party source told the Mail that Markle had been "networking among senior Democrats" on the venture of building a grassroots campaign eventually targeting a presidential bid of her own.

Duchess of Douche considers run for Feinstein's seat, is the WH her ultimate aim?

[MAIL] Indeed, within minutes of 90-year-old Feinstein's death being announced on Friday, the Mail on Sunday was told 'phones lit up' with speculation the Duchess of Sussex could throw her hat in the ring to serve out the remaining 13 months of Feinstein's term.

A major Democratic donor who is close to Californian Governor Gavin Newsom - who will choose Feinstein's replacement - told the MoS: 'Meghan is definitely a long-shot but in the craziness that is US politics these days it's not an impossibility. Crazier things have happened.'

Feinstein's death has produced a unique situation where Newsom, 55, California's charismatic Governor who is considered a Presidential frontrunner should anything happen to 80-year-old President Joe Biden, has free reign to pick someone to replace Feinstein until the next election is held in November 2024.

#2 How about just leaving the seat vacant and just casting the usual LSD party line vote until the end of her term?

Thus saving the Taxpayers $$$ Millions in operating a Senate Office, her salary, T&E, misc. operations, staff, and etc. expenses?

#4 Wouldn’t it be cheaper just to have the staffer who was telling Feinstein to vote Aye to just vote directly kind of like Dems usually do for dead people?

#9 Joe Biden Tells Democrats to Treat Future White Minority ‘with Respect’

So where's the respect, Joe, when both you and Newsom arbitrarily exclude white people?

#10 #7 It's a pattern. Bobby Kennedy went from Massachusetts to NY to become their senator. Hillary went from Illinois to NY to become their senator. So much for the Founders intent that the Senate was to represent their states.

“We’re going to be — very shortly — a minority-white European country, and sometimes my [Democrat] colleagues don’t speak enough to make it clear that that is not going to change how we operate,” he told the progressive billionaire-funded ProPublica website."

Respect, like in South Africa Joe?

#16 It’s no secret, but one thing many people might not know is that EMILY’s List is not named after a woman; EMILY is an acronym for “Early Money Is Like Yeast” — it “makes the dough rise.” Laphonza Butler was the president of Emilys list, a very pro abortion organization.
