Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) backed California Secretary of State Alex Padilla (D) for the U.S. Senate on Wednesday, a show of support for an ally of the governor as he weighs his appointment options amidst a slew of candidates from which to choose.
Padilla, 47, has been seen as the frontrunner in the race to win California Governor Gavin Newsom’s final approval, and Feinstein’s endorsement signals that she hasn’t decided to lay low in light of recent attacks from the Left flank of the Democratic Party.
