Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : The governor had already filled vacancies for the state's other Senate seat after Harris was elected vice president, as well as for secretary of state and attorney general.
24% : Newsom put himself in a perilous situation by vowing to name a Black woman to Feinstein's post if she could not finish her term -- a pledge partly driven by frustration over his decision to appoint then-Secretary of State Alex Padilla, one of his longtime confidants, to replace Harris.
