Pelosi deploys her machine to back Chan in SF succession fight

Nancy Pelosi is using her vast political network to back Connie Chan in San Francisco’s open House seat, aiming to block Scott Wiener amid a feud that has spilled into an AI chatbot controversy and a debate over female representation in the region’s Democratic leadership. Wiener, who led in the primary, says Pelosi has effectively taken over Chan’s campaign, while Chan’s side emphasizes labor ties and the legacy Pelosi wants to shape for the city.
