11:25Now PlayingCalifornia's Governor Gavin Newsom keeps his promise to appoint a black woman to replace Senator Dianne Feinstein, who died last week.
Newsom appointed EMILYs List's president, Laphonza Butler, to the U.S. Senate.
Butler posted this on social media after the appointment announcement:
"I'm honored to accept Gov. @GavinNewsom's nomination to be U.S. Senator for a state I have made my home and honored by his trust in me to serve the people of California and this great nation."
Butler will serve as the crucial 51st vote for Senate Democrats, who have a slim majority in the upper chamber and are defending several seats in red states in 2024.
Vice President Kamala Harris plans to swear Butler in on Tuesday.
