The former chief of staff to U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., announced Wednesday his intention to run against Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., calling the Democratic Party "paralyzed and unprepared" for President Donald Trump's second term in office.
In a lengthy message on X, Saikat Chakrabarti said he decided to run against the former House speaker, who is seeking a 21st term, after "watching Trump and Elon (Musk) freely unleash chaos in their illegal seizure of government."
"It’s become clear to me that the Democratic Party needs new leadership," he wrote. "I don’t understand how DC’s Democratic leaders are so paralyzed and unprepared for this moment after living through President Trump’s first term — and after Trump and Elon warned us exactly what they planned to do."
