to step down but this certainly came up because of governor newsom's selection of alex padilla to take kamala harris'sere a lot of women, black women in particular in california, who want to see representation in the u.s. senate by another black woman. i think newsom's getting a little bit ahead of the process here, and that looked sort of nakedly political, that answer so that's why you saw him rushing to clean it up. feinstein's sources also say that, you know, they really don't like this suggestion that she needs to leave when we have so many white male senators over the years who have stayed in the senate, you know, well into their 80s and 90s, and there's a suggestion about whether these calls are coming up more for her because she's a woman, and that has angered some of her defenders. he would be best served probably by staying away from that subject. it's just a little too thorny. >> it's hard to stay away from it when you're trying to raise your profile to get out there and talk about this and raise money. it's a fascinating moment. maeve reston, errol lewis, thank you. >>> virginia's governor
