Larry Elder, a gubernatorial candidate in California’s Gavin Newsom recall election, said he would replace U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat, with a Republican – if Elder becomes governor and Feinstein were to step down during his term.
"God forbid Gov. Elder should replace Dianne Feinstein who nobody’s seen in weeks," Elder told Mark Levin on his radio show Friday. "I'm told she has a worse mental condition than even Joe Biden. They're afraid I'm would replace her with a Republican — which I most certainly would do and that would be an earthquake in Washington D.C."
Feinstein, now 88 years old, has served in the Senate since the early 1990s and says she has no plans to step down despite some Democrats hoping she would. A New Yorker piece that came out last year reported House Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and others had been concerned about her memory and ability to focus, especially during the Justice Amy Coney Barrett confirmation hearings. Feinstein balked at the criticism.
If Elder were to become governor and Feinstein were to retire, Republicans would be able to retake control of the Senate (currently split 50-48, with two independents caucusing with the Democrats to even the divide). Vice President Kamala Harris, as president of the Senate, breaks ties.

"They’re scared to death that a blue state like California, God forbid they should elect a common-sense conservative Republican who makes an appreciable difference in their lives," Elder told Levin of Democrats.

Hang in there FiGi, you sleazy POS! Help is on the way!
DiFi
Hush Larry
now more Dems will be motivated to vote
The message should be
RECALL GOVERNOR LOCKDOWN
Democrats don’t need to Vote in CA.
Someone else Votes for them.
They are passing out Recall Ballots like Candy at the Willie Wonka Factory.

I've said all along that Newsom will not be removed. I stand by that statement.
But since CA dos not have that law, I say: GO LARRY!
I’d rather he replace Feinstein with a Conservative, who would likely be a Republican.
Win, win.
That’s correct. He should have kept this under wraps.
DiFi should be in prison. I guess she escaped that rap. She may have some reckoning yet to come however.
Hmm. Fox News have their panties in a wad?
After she dies, most assuredly.
Why....It’s incentive for Republicans and would flip the Senate.
Nancy too, she is 81 years old.
True, but it could also backfire and prompt more die-hard Democrats to get out and vote.
On the other hand, this may motivate California Republicans, who are beat down and demoralized, to get out there and vote. For years, they've been told that voting won't make any difference (much like you hear from the doom-and-gloomer trolls here in FR), but it seems the common consensus in this election that if Republicans do vote, Newsome can be recalled and Elder elected.
