It’s official…
Adam Schiff and Andy Kim are now U.S. Senators after being sworn in moments ago.
Since both of them are filling vacancies, Schiff and Kim were appointed by their respective governors to serve out the rest of the terms of Dianne Feinstein and Bob Menendez.

So, 12/9 vs. 12/13.
I like that lady a lot.
She stepped into a bad situation and did a great job.

Per California Law, Adam appeared on the ballot TWICE. Once for his six year term, and once for the partially expired term remaining for LaPhonza Bulter...who was Gavin Newsom's appointee to fill Dianne's seat.
CA Voters voted him in. He wasn't appointed.
Some ppl are not being trustworthy. Appointed? What a load of nonsense when I remember my ballots.
Imprison him and throw away the key too, while you’re at it!
I voted for him in all three circumstances, even though I am highly pissed at him rn.

Thing is, the state deadline to certify the election is 12/13 so maybe it's possible that Butler resigned a few days early so that Newsom could issue a press release. 🤷♂️
Newsom had nothing to do with it.
Feinstein overstayed and screwed up her legacy. Menendez had always been a shady crook.

He was on the ballot (more than once) and elected and actually had an opponent. So he's not currently appointed and trying to manipulate words to say that he was "appointed" is pretty much horseshit.
People. This kind of thing is super manipulative and not acceptable, trying to insinuate to those not in the know that CA just appoints legislators and doesn't elect them. And it's currently incorrect.
Now this news feels good! Thank you for the post.
Then, he was on the ballot this last time.
I literally did all this at the polls myself. It happened in rl.
