PRIMARY PREVIEW: Nancy Pelosi endorses Connie Chan to succeed her after 40 years in Congress.

California Rep. Nancy Pelosi has made her choice for who should succeed her in Congress.

The longtime congresswoman endorsed San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan on Monday in the race for the former House speaker’s seat.

Pelosi gave the nod to Chan over progressive Saikat Chakrabarti and California state Sen. Scott Weiner.

“I know this district, I know the Congress, and I know Connie,” Pelosi said in a short clip showing her seated next to Chan. “I’m proud to endorse Connie Chan, and I ask you to join me in electing her to Congress.”

I can’t help but think that voters there will go for Weiner.
