Leading California recall candidate, Republican Larry Elder, has vowed to replace democrat Senator Diane Feinstein if he wins this month’s special election. This from westernjournal.com.
Elder and others will be on the ballot to replace democrat Governor Gavin Newsom in two weeks.
Elder, who according to recent polling is leading the field, is ready to begin disrupting California politics, should he win.
That shakeup includes removing Feinstein, who for decades has represented the state in the Senate, and has been unquestionably hard left-learning for the entirety of her tenure in the upper chamber.
Elder told conservative radio host Mark Levin on Friday that the state’s senior senator is no longer competent, and that if he defeats Newsom, she is as good as gone.
Elder, who himself is a radio host, also took a shot at the man occupying the White House.
Elder is not alone in wishing to see Feinstein exit her seat before 2025 — when she will be 92 years old.
A number of high-profile democrats have called for the former San Francisco mayor to call it quits. Naturally, if Newsom loses and Elder takes over, he’d be in a position to change the makeup of the 50-50 Senate.
The democrats who spoke to cnn anonymously last month described a Newsom loss to Elder as a “doomsday scenario.”
“One California [democrat] source, asking for anonymity to speak candidly about the sensitive topic, echoed concerns voiced by others in the party, saying ‘the right thing to do’ would be for Feinstein to step down so a [democrat] governor could appoint her replacement since ‘this is looking like a closer election.’”
But Feinstein said no matter how close the polls look, she will not step down and allow Newsom to replace her.
“Why would I?” Feinstein said. “It doesn’t affect me — the recall is just against him.”
Elder of course views Feinstein’s place in the election much differently, according to what he told Levin.
The Sept. 14 election will tell us a great deal about the state of politics in California. After a year of lockdowns, homelessness, and controversial decisions on COVID mandates, Newsom was unpopular enough to face a recall.
California right now is a very unpredictable place. However we can confidently predict a democrat political tsunami if Senator Feinstein is replaced or even an attempt is made to replace her with a Republican.
The extremism of pathological democrats will be on full display. Expect threats of violence (and likely violence) as well as the full gambit of voiced intentions from packing The Supremes to pushing a host of Executive Orders to Antifa and BLM out doing their thing in the streets. Actually, the pathological democrat imagination for violence and counter-societal machinations will prove to be endless.
