WEX Wakeup: Newsom fills Feinstein's Senate seat; McCarthy brushes off Gaetz's threats to oust him

#wexwakeup for Monday, October 2☕☀️
Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) has selected political strategist Laphonza Butler to replace the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein in the Senate, according to multiple sources. Butler is the president of EMILY's List, the self-described "nation's largest resource dedicated to electing Democratic pro-choice women to office," and a longtime labor leader in the Golden State. Newsom's decision passes over Reps. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Barbara Lee (D-CA), and Katie Porter (D-CA), the favorites to win Feinstein's seat during next year's election.
After Trump skipped the second GOP presidential debate, are voters still in favor of the former president? Or, are they switching their support to another candidate? That’s what the Washington Examiner wanted to find out, and our Mabinty Quarshie has the answer.
On Sunday, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) shot back at Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), threatening to file a motion to vacate this week. Gaetz has said since the beginning of September that if McCarthy were to put a clean continuing resolution on the floor, as he did on Saturday, he would move forward with a motion to vacate.
