That shut up the woman

Lady in Denny's interrupted a conversation saying that Trump really needs to concede, I pointed out that congressman harris hasn't resigned from the Senate yet.....but that's different

She doesn’t have to resign until her term as VP starts on January 20. Trump, on the other hand, doesn’t need to formally concede at all. His term will end automatically at noon on January 20 regardless.

@MarmeeMarch She will resign when it suits her and the party best. Probably right after the Georgia runoffs when we know what the composition of the Senate will be. Obviously Newsome will appoint a Democrat to replace her.

@MarmeeMarch Obviously you do, or you wouldn't have brought it up.

Personally, I spend more time thinking about greyhound racing than I do wondering when Kamala Harris will resign from the Senate.

@MarmeeMarch Uh, yeah, Oakland is in California. Harris was the California Attorney General before she was a Senator.

The only question is whether Newsome will appoint a placeholder like Barbara Boxer, or someone who intends to run when Harris' term ends, like Ro Khanna.

Harris will likely resign [i]before[/i] January 3rd in order to give her replacement seniority over other Democrats who were elected on November 3rd and can't be sworn in until January 3rd.

When Republican Sen. Pete Wilson was elected Governor of California in 1990, he beat Democrat Dianne Feinstein in the election.

Wilson then resigned from the Senate and appointed Republican state Senator John Seymour to the U.S. Senate. A special election was held on the same day as the 1992 general election to fill out the remainder of Wilson's term (which would expire January 3, 1995).

When DiFi beat Seymour in 1992, DiFi was sworn in on November 10th - a mere week after the election. This enabled DiFi to take office before any of the other Democrat Senators elected on the same day (including fellow Californian Barbara Boxer).

This gave DiFi greater seniority over them, helping her gain in seniority on Senate committee assignments.
