I listed the 15 most likely people IMO. Personally, I think it's one of the top 6.

The replacement for Harris would be whichever person Newsom appoints.

Harris will not be VP. If picked, she would ensure that the entire ticket gets dragged down to defeat. It would be a disaster.

Not necessarily. As a matter of technicality, the Senate could opt to not seat whomever he appoints.

Okay, but in no way is that an answer to the question at hand: who replaces her if she becomes VP?

Schiff.  Newsom would never pick Porter; he's a corporatist type IIRC.

By that logic, Obama would've never appointed Warren to serve in his administration.

Schiff is staying in the House and loves his chairmanship, he would lose his seniority status if he moves to Senate. He is gonna wait til Feinstein retires. Harris is staying put

Perhaps it's because my quarantine reading has included the fiasco of the 2009 New York Senate Seat but I feel in safely democratic states with a large bench you should almost be forced to appoint a placeholder & allow a competitive primary.

I can understand in states where you want a strong incumbent for a tough race; but it seems extremely unfair for the Governor to give someone a headstart by giving them millions in DSCC funding through an appointment.

Beccera would be a no-brainer but he probably wants to become governor.
Kevin de Leon seems like the perfect pick: Latino, liberal, gay, and from southern California.

That's what I read when he ran against Feinstein.

Yeah, I don't remember any such thing having been said about him. IIRC he has a (biological) daughter too.

Why isn’t Betty Yee in the mix? I know she’s older, but she’s the least controversial pick maybe

Older placeholders are common. Luther Strange is older. Yee doesn’t have the baggage Strange has.

Porter would be a dumb pick, risks flipping that seat(inb4 muh trends while forgetting IA 1st, and Maine 1st, NY 19th etc.)
Also Porter wouldn't be very likely to win a primary, Orange county Democrats are pretty new to the scene overall, some ambitious politician from the bay area/LA would want that seat.

Yes?
This assumes KH is VP so its a D presidency?
Rs are energized they flip it in a special and hold it in the GE.
