bionic 50,111 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Vice President-elect Harris will resign from her Senate seat on Monday January 18, 2021 to focus on the Biden presidential transition. She will return to the Senate as Vice President following her inauguration just two days later on January 20, 2021. One of her first actions as VP is likely to be to swear in her replacement, Alex Padilla, once he has been formally nominated to replace Harris by the California governor. As the Senate will be split 50-50 between the Democrat and Republican caucuses, Harris is likely to have a huge influence over the Senate due to her VP tie-break power. https://www.npr.org/sections/biden-transition-updates/2021/01/17/957723309/harris-will-leave-senate-seat-monday-set-to-return-as-tie-breaking-vice-presiden?t=1610903398515 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatigay 21,211 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 If Dianne Feinstein resigns, how does it work to have someone replace her? Does she name them? Election process? Someone else decides? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The state Governor (in this case, Newsom) appoints a replacement to serve the rest of the term (like how Loefflor was) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some states have a mechanism requiring a special election, depending on the length of the term left. Not sure this applies to California Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteWitch 720 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 No Democrat except for Kamala Harris should be resigning their senate seat for any reason. Or did people not pay attention to why Georgia was so important? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
