button issue for the gop candidates there on the campaign trail, i had a chance to speak with xavier becerraementing abortion bans and restrictions in the year plus since roe v. wade was overturned: take a listen. >> a woman who lives in a state that now denies her access to abortion services is two to three times more likely now to die of a complication of pregnancy than is a woman who lives in a state where they do have access to abortion services not just because they have access to abortion services because typically what happens is you begin to restrict access to health services that women need that go beyond just abortion services. and so what we're finding is that more and more women are having to levleave their state o access services, which is okay if you've got the money. but as you said, ana, the vast majority of women who are going to be impacted detrimentally by the dobbs decision are women of color. >> now, that was just part of a conversation i moderated yet with the four current latino cabinet secretaries, the country recognizes hispanic heritage month. and beyond having an i

now senator becerra, to take her place. and so he has made that promise. lee, who is eminently qualified, has also served all of us extremely well for many years. but she is a candidate and you're going to get a leg up to one of those three candidates for senate for that senate position or are you going to try to have a level playing field by then picking somebody else? and it's the couple names that i thought of as african-american women who could be perhaps caretaker senators. i don't know if they'd want to do it. but surely whoever our secretary of state and mayor karen bass down in los angeles and i don't know that they would do it, but that might be a way out for governor newsom. but but he's got a delicate problem, i'm sure he's given it thought because, of course, senator feinstein has been in declining health for quite some time. and so there has been speculation that she would step away. and so it's got to be something in governor newsom's mind. but it'll be fascinating to see what he decides to do to thread the needle here. and david, we're talki
