“It Will Be Bruising”: Jockeying for Dianne Feinstein’s California Senate Seat Has Already Begun
Good morning from the Hive newsroom! Kanye West has fueled a flurry of antisemitic hate on college campuses, according to a report out this morning from the Anti-Defamation League. CEO Jonathan Greenblatt told Caleb Ecarma that the rapper’s antisemitism is “inspiring people to commit real-world acts of hate.”
Even though 89-year-old California Senator Dianne Feinstein has yet to announce that she won’t run again in 2024, the jockeying for her seat has begun, Abigail Tracy reports. “Democrat-on-Democrat contests are ugly and expensive and this isn’t just any Senate seat, this is California,” says one political strategist. “It will be bruising.”
Elsewhere, Kelly Rissman reports on the shooting down of two unidentified flying objects over Canada this past weekend, and writes on Matt Gaetz inviting an accused murderer to say the Pledge of Allegiance on the House floor. The Florida representative later apologized for having “caused some unintended consequences.” Thanks for reading.
