Meghan Markle Speculated as Potential Replacement for Late Dianne Feinstein

Meghan Markle could reportedly be the replacement for the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein who died last week at 90.

According to reports by Daily Mail, “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.” The replacement will reportedly be selected by California Governor Gavin Newsom.

“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. The report also stated that a senior source in Britain’s Labor Party confirmed that Markle had “been networking among senior Democrats”, in order to further her political ambitions.

“A source said Governor Newsom had pledged to replace Feinstein with a black woman”, reports the Daily Mail. “The problem he now faces is that all the best candidates have already announced they will be running for Feinstein’s seat in November 2024, the next election.”

“Governor Newsom cannot elect any of those candidates to the position now as it would be seen as a huge and very unfair, advantage. If he puts any of the very good black women candidates in the job now he will be accused of favoritism”, the source told Daily Mail.

The source also added that “he needs to find a woman of colour who can do the job for 13 months and will agree to not stand against any of the seasoned politicians who have already thrown their hats into the ring.”

“There are not many women who fit the bill. Which is why Meghan’s name is being bandied about”, they said.
