THE 800 POUND GORILLA IN THE ROOM - WHO WILL REPLACE KAMALA HARRIS IN THE SENATE?

By Gloria Dulan-Wilson

Hello All!!

Now that the election is over and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have completely defeated T-rump's bid for re-election, the 800 pound gorilla in the room is who will replace Kamala Harris and complete her unexpired time as Senator? 

This election has been the most important and pivotal since Lincoln's election as president in 1860.  More chicanery has happened as a result of a contentious miscreant who was allowed to occupy the white house and take the country to the brink of disaster.  Thank goodness Americans woke up from this nightmare in time to stop it from going from bad to worse. 

But the big question is who is going to succeed KAMALA HARRIS IN THE SENATE - and we have to be explicitly and patently clear that that someone Gavin Newsom puts in that position has to be African American and Female.  Kamala has created history by being the first to hold that role, and it should not be usurped under some misunderstood and misconceived diversity delusion. 

This message is directed to Governor Newsom, but also to the CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS AS WELL.  There is no leaving this to chance. This is too important in an era of errors to not allow people to impose their philosophical preferences on us.  This is about being about the business of Black people - which is why we have a CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS in the first place.

There had been a rumor initially that Kamala Harris' aide finish out her term.  Absolutely not!!  This is not a one size fits all.  This is about making sure that the highest and best interests of Black people are served. That what Kamala started as a senator is carried forward; and the person who is in that position has walked in our shoes. 

And, while I don't have anyone specifically to recommend - yet - I want to make sure that we are not so focused on the essential elections in GEORGE WHERE WE ARE SUPPORTING OSSOFF AND WARNOCK to be elected to the senate - we certainly want to - must - walk and chew gum at the same time.

We must emphasize that the person who replaces Kamala Harris must be an AFRICAN AMERICAN FEMALE - who has a track record of working in behalf of African Americans.

Like the runoff in Georgia, this is pivotal for us all!!  We can't assume anything.  We have to take stands and make our concerns and wishes known.  To do otherwise abrogates our role and responsibility to stand for ourselves and not allow others to make decisions for us.

Kamala Harris' replacement in the US Senate has to be an African American Female. 

NOW THAT YOU KNOW

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

TAKE A STAND FOR YOURSELVES

AND YOUR NEXT SENATOR(S)

Stay Blessed &

ECLECTICALLY BLACK
