On Monday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) appointed Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) to the Senate to complete the rest of appointee Sen. Laphonza Butler’s (D) term.
Butler announced her resignation, effective Sunday, and Schiff was appointed by the governor.
In a statement, Newsom highlighted Butler’s lifetime achievements and accomplishments when filling in for Feinstein.
“Laphonza has never shied away from fighting for what’s right. She works not for recognition, but for the greater good — a commitment that began long before her time in the Senate and will continue well beyond it,” Newsom said. “Thank you, Senator Butler, for your dedication and service and for honoring the life and legacy of the late Dianne Feinstein, a legacy I’m confident Senator-elect Schiff will also carry forward.”
Butler replaced late Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) in October 2023 and said she would not run for a full term, opening the race up to Schiff and others.
The appointment means Schiff, who served in the House since 2001, will begin work in the upper chamber several weeks before the start of the next Congress in early January.
Schiff has remained one of Donald Trump’s loudest critics in Congress.

WHEN WILL PEOPLE LEARN NEVER TO TRUST A DUMBARAT POLITICIAN AS THEY ARE NOTHING BUT LOW LIFE SCUM LIARS,CHEATS AND CROOKS AND AMERICVA WILL NEVER BE SAFE AS LONG AS DUMBARATS ARE IN OFFICE.SO IF AMERICA IS TO BECOME GREATER THAN EVER WE HAVE TO DUMP EVERY DUMBARAT AT EVERY ELECTION AND AND ELIMINATE THE DUMBASS PARTY FROM EXISTANCE,OTHERWISE THERE WILL NEVER BE PEACE AND HAPPINESS IN AMERICA!!!!!
I’m looking forward to see what President Elect Trump will do with these traitors!
Schiff is nothing more than a lying, corrupt, Democrat circus clown. Trump should sue him for defamation.
This is typical of Gavin Newsense, he’s a first-rate RAT, escaped recall by the cheating Kalifornia system of voting, they perfected the steal in elections. I hope there will be retribution by the leader of the Senate, if he must represent Kalifornia don’t allow him to serve in any committees or give him any job other than his office which he will be given as a Senator. He should answer for all the illegal activities regarding two attempts to impeach President Trump and the bigger event of the attacks on him based on the Russia collusion charges he fostered against a sitting President. He’s obviously one of the most disliked men in congress based on this time in his congressional seat in Kalifornia.
