Progressive Challenger Takes Aim At California Rep. Nancy Pelosi
Story by Danielle Shockey • 1d
A new battle within the Democratic Party and unfolding in San Francisco, where former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi faces a primary challenge from Saikat Chakrabarti, a progressive activist and former chief of staff to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
In a social media post, Chakrabarti, 39, acknowledged Pelosi’s historic career but argued that her time in politics no longer aligns with the challenges facing modern America.
“I’ve decided to run against Nancy Pelosi to represent San Francisco in Congress,” Chakrabarti wrote on X. Chakrabarti, who has clashed with Pelosi in the past, noted, “I know some of you might be surprised that Speaker Emeritus Pelosi is running again, but she is — for her 21st term!”
