First - I don't buy this at all. There isn't time for this to play out given that a VP pick has to be approved in CONgress.
However - a VP can (and has) resign. A governor can also appoint whoever he/she wants to fill a vacant Senate seat. So if DiFi resigns or dies Newsome can certainly appoint Kamala if she resigned from VP.
