The Duchess has made several Democrat friends since moving to LA including TV host Oprah Winfrey, who is a big donor to the party, and become friendly with the Kennedys, who remain one of the most well-connected Democratic families in America.
"Meghan Markle is reportedly "in the running to fill Dianne Feinstein's California Senator seat" as the Duchess considers a run for office.
"According to a major Democratic donor close to Californian Governor Gavin Newsom, who is set to choose Feinstein's replacement, the possibility of the Duchess of Sussex running is not impossible. Although a long-shot replacement for the 90-year-old pioneer, there is speculation Meghan could serve out the remaining 13 months of Feinstein's term.
"A source told the Mail on Sunday: "Meghan is definitely a long-shot but in the craziness that is US politics these days it's not an impossibility. Crazier things have happened."
"After the tragic [but expected] passing of Feinstein, 55-year-old Gavin Newsom can pick her replacement until the next election in November 2024. He was in a similar position in October 2020, when then-candidate Joe Biden chose California senator, [Kamala], Harris, to be his vice president." . . .
