In the past few weeks, things have seemed to get worse for House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), after she fell in Europe and had to have emergency hip replacement surgery.
One week ago, Pelosi was seen using a walker on the House floor as she continued to heal from her accident. Now, a far-left former staffer for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is running against her in the primary, according to a report released Thursday.
Saikat Chakrabarti, who used to be the chief of staff for AOC, said on Wednesday that he would run against Pelosi in the primary. Politico reported that he was running because the former speaker tried to stop the progressive New York congressman from becoming the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee.
