First Encounter
David asks what is up with Connie and whether Pelosi is just vindictive; Eve explains Chan is a Hong Kong immigrant and labor-backed Budget Committee chair, and argues the endorsement mixes spite, union ties, and machine succession, though Wiener still leads in polls and money.
David asks whether Pelosi truly believes Chan would be a better member than Wiener or is mainly proving the machine works; Eve argues both, but says the machine does more work, while claiming Pelosi genuinely likes Chan’s Chinatown roots, labor loyalty, and historic candidacy.
