San Francisco's House Battle Puts Pelosi Legacy at Center of Left's Populist Push

In San Francisco's open House race, challenger Saikat Chakrabarti attacks Nancy Pelosi’s legacy to court anti-establishment voters, even after Pelosi endorsed Connie Chan as her successor. Chakrabarti cites policy disagreements with Pelosi and has drawn endorsements from Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib; the race is a dead heat for second place behind front-runner Scott Wiener, setting up a likely November rematch and testing the city’s reverence for the former speaker.

Pelosi backs Chan to succeed her, reshaping San Francisco's congressional race

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi endorsed San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan to succeed her in Congress, a last‑minute twist in a three‑way Democratic primary that also includes state Sen. Scott Wiener and tech entrepreneur Saikat Chakrabarti. Wiener currently leads polls, Chan is neck‑and‑neck with Chakrabarti, and Marie Huriabell is also running. Pelosi lauded Chan’s leadership and lived experience, signaling a push to position Chan in second place behind Wiener; the endorsement comes as Pelosi previously signaled she wouldn’t endorse in the gubernatorial race.

The open-top-two primary heightens concern about a possible two-Democrat or two-Republican general election, leaving seven major candidates vying for attention less than three weeks before ballots go out.

Swalwell’s fall from front-runner to forced exit over misconduct allegations

Rep. Eric Swalwell’s bid for California’s governorship collapsed within days as sexual misconduct allegations surfaced, prompting swift backlash from House Democrats led by Nancy Pelosi, who urged him to resign from Congress. In a rare, bipartisan response, lawmakers sought parity by pressing to hold Gonzales to similar accountability. The episode ended Swalwell’s 13-year congressional career and his gubernatorial campaign, highlighting a renewed emphasis on accountability in Congress.

Trump ousts entire Presidio Trust board in San Francisco

President Donald Trump fired all six members of the Presidio Trust board—the federal agency that manages San Francisco's Presidio—effective immediately, part of his broader push to shrink the federal bureaucracy; the trustees, appointed during the Biden administration, were notified of their removal as Trump had previously targeted the agency in a 2025 executive order labeling it unnecessary, and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi helped create the trust in 1996.
