Newsom Eyes Feinstein's Seat and Reflects on Pandemic Response as Democrats Aim to Keep House Majority

Democrats see Pelosi as a formidable fundraiser and want her to stay as House control is at stake and Trump could run again.
Newsom said he would appoint a caretaker, likely a Black woman, for Feinstein's seat if she leaves before term ends. He doesn't want to tip the Senate primary.
Newsom told NBC he would handle the pandemic response differently in hindsight and wishes Feinstein the best amid questions about her health.
Former California air regulator Mary Nichols wrote to lawmakers urging them not to kill a bill on corporate emissions reporting.
A bill to factor in gender identity in child custody cases passed the legislature and is now on Newsom's desk, as is a wage hike for healthcare workers that could end a dialysis ballot fight.
