Ex-AOC aide’s $10M campaign ends in humiliation as he bombs in every precinct

Saikat Chakrabarti, the former aide to the late Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, faced a crushing defeat in his $10 million campaign for the 11th District congressional seat, failing to win in any precinct. With San Francisco state Sen. Scott Wiener and Pelosi-endorsed Connie Chan advancing to the general election, Chakrabarti's loss underscores the challenges even well-funded campaigns face against established political figures. This outcome not only highlights the competitive nature of local elections but also raises questions about the future influence of former progressive icons in national politics.
