What happens to Kamala Harris’s Senate seat?
With President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris projected to take the White House, Harris will have to resign her seat in the U.S. Senate.
The power to fill that seat would fall to Governor Gavin Newsom, and the political jockeying for his pick is well underway.
“This is one of the best jobs in American politics, one of the most prominent jobs in American politics and every California political leader wants it,” said UC San Diego political science chair Thad Kousser.
