The news for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appears to have gone from bad to worse in recent weeks following a fall in Europe that led to emergency hip replacement surgery.<\/p>\n

As Pelosi continues recovering from her accident \u2014 she was seen using a walker on the House floor just last week \u2014 she now faces a primary challenge from a far-left former aide to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), according to a Thursday report.<\/p>\n

Saikat Chakrabarti, former chief of staff for AOC, announced on Wednesday that he would challenge Pelosi in the primary. He cited the former speaker\u2019s efforts to block the progressive New York congressmember from becoming the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee as his reason for running, Politico\u00a0reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cI respect what Nancy Pelosi has accomplished in her career, but we are living in a totally different America than the one she knew when she entered politics 45 years ago,\u201d Chakrabarti, a 39-year-old former tech worker,\u00a0posted on the X platform. \u201cAmerica is stuck, and Americans want real solutions that are as big as the problems we face.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pelosi, who stepped down as speaker in 2022 after nearly 20 years in the role, easily won reelection to her solidly Democratic San Francisco seat last year. Her office declined to comment on Chakrabarti\u2019s announcement.<\/p>\n

She has filed paperwork to run for reelection in 2026 but has not publicly confirmed whether she intends to seek another term. State Sen. Scott Wiener has long been expected to run for the seat if Pelosi were to step down. Local political observers have also speculated that Pelosi\u2019s daughter, Christine, might run for the seat if her mother were to retire.<\/p>\n

Whoever wins the primary is likely to secure the general election and hold the seat for a long time in a city that remains a Democratic stronghold, Politico added.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Pelosi\u2019s husband, Paul Pelosi, made $38 million worth of stock trades in the weeks leading up to President Donald Trump\u2019s inauguration, which will no doubt lead to further calls for stock trading bans for members of Congress and their immediate families.<\/p>\n

The New York Post\u00a0reported\u00a0that the tens of millions in trades included \u201can investment in a once-obscure artificial intelligence firm whose shares have soared nearly 50% in the past week.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul Pelosi sold $24 million worth of Apple stock and $5 million worth of shares in AI chip maker Nvidia.<\/p>\n

Both of these significant transactions were completed on New Year\u2019s Eve, according to government filings. Nancy Pelosi is legally obligated to disclose her husband\u2019s stock trades, The Post added.<\/p>\n

Paul Pelosi, who survived a brutal hammer attack inside the couple\u2019s San Francisco home roughly two years ago, has also taken a new role with Tempus AI, a Chicago-based health technology company that deploys artificial intelligence to analyze clinical and molecular data.<\/p>\n

According to filings, Paul Pelosi purchased $100,000 worth of call options in Tempus AI on January 14. Since the disclosure of his involvement, the company\u2019s stock has surged.<\/p>\n

When the market opened on January 14, Tempus AI stock was trading at approximately $32 per share. However, as of Thursday, shares of Tempus AI\u2014 which went public last June with an IPO price of $37 per share\u2014 were trading at around $50.50 per share, marking a 60% increase, noted The Post.<\/p>\n

All the while, Nancy Pelosi continues to recover from her hip surgery.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cEarlier this morning, Speaker Emerita Pelosi underwent a successful hip replacement and is well on the mend,\u201d spokesperson Ian Krager said in a statement sent to HuffPost in mid-December.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The statement added that the former House Speaker was \u201cgrateful to U.S. military staff at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center at Landstuhl Army Base and medical staff at Hospital Kirchberg in Luxembourg for their excellent care and kindness.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
