Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco), 86 and retiring, is still a political influence in the Bay Area, as seen by her endorsement of her replacement.
Pelosi failed at preventing Trump’s return and stopping progressives, she now faces a test for the future of her seat.
The former speaker has yet to make an endorsement in San Francisco's congressional race, though her affinity for one contender is clear.
The first female speaker of the House endorsed Connie Chan for her seat in Congress, telling NBC News in an exclusive interview: “I want to make sure that people know that she can win.”
Connie Chan’s chances remain uncertain despite Pelosi’s endorsement, which arrived late after doubts she'd even make one.
