As rumors swirl Nancy will be forced to step down after midterms wipeout, her activist daughter Christine is favorite to take over . . . with a little help from her mom’s fundraising machinery and contacts
- With rumors she plans to step down if a red wave hits in Tuesday’s midterms, plans have already begun to succeed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
- Pelosi, who has served in Congress since 1987 and on two occasions as speaker, is currently helping her husband recover from a home invasion and attack
- A story published Friday suggested that if Democrats suffer the expected midterms losses, Pelosi will step down, leaving her San Francisco seat open
- Multiple local politicians appear to be setting up for a potential run at her heavily left-leaning district in 2024
- One of the people who could be running for the seat: Pelosi’s daughter, Christine, who is an activist, ex-assistant district attorney and former congressional chief of staff
- At least one other candidate may try to outflank the liberal on both her left and right: State Sen. Scott Weiner
