Moderating:

Diane Feinstein has died and can no longer resign from the Senate, which was the subject of this thread.

There’s a different thread for speculation about what will happen to her seat in the upcoming election:

> [@Feinstein’s replacement speculation and breaking news thread {Laphonza Butler sworn in}](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/feinstein-s-replacement-speculation-and-breaking-news-thread-laphonza-butler-sworn-in/990865):

> Who do you think Newsome will choose? Who do you think he should choose?

Let’s please use the newer thread for this discussion. I’m going to close this thread now.
