In a statement issued by the White House, Biden \u2212 a longtime Senate colleague of Feinstein&#8217;s \u2212 called her &#8220;a pioneering American. A true trailblazer. And for Jill and me, a cherished friend. &#8220;Often the only woman in the room, Dianne was a role model for so many Americans \u2013 a job she took seriously by mentoring countless public servants, many of whom now serve in my Administration,&#8221; Biden said. &#8220;She had an immense impact on younger female leaders for whom she generously opened doors.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is now up to California Gov. Gavin Newsom pick a replacement for&nbsp;Feinstein. Given the Democrats\u2019 slight majority in the Senate, he is already under pressure to act quickly. In the past, he has&nbsp;vowed to appoint a Black woman&nbsp;to the seat. On Friday, though, Newsom made no mention of a successor in a statement marking her death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
