Connie Chan is a California candidate endorsed by Nancy Pelosi to succeed her in Congress (Al Jazeera, October 3). Chan has called for a "full arms embargo" on Israel, saying she will vote to "end a genocide in Gaza" (Al Jazeera, October 3).
The endorsement and Chan's stated position place her in the center of ongoing debates within the Democratic Party over Israel policy, especially as Pelosi's succession in a high-profile California seat draws national attention. Chan's positioning may become a bellwether for how Democratic establishment-endorsed candidates navigate progressive pressure on Gaza policy ahead of the 2026 midterms.
