Lefty tech millionaire Saikat Chakrabarti spent $10 million of his own cash to succeed fill Nancy Pelosi’s shoes in Congress for San Francisco, only to majorly flop and miss out on a spot in the general election.
As of Wednesday morning, the former aide to socialist Congresswoman Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez received just 15% of the vote count with half of the total votes in.
That’s far behind Democrats state Sen. Scott Wiener, who is the oft-leather-clad frontrunner at 41%, and Pelosi-endorsed San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan at around 29%. Wiener and Chan will advance to face off in November, the Associated Press projected.
Results so far show Chakrabarti not winning a single precinct in the 11th congressional district.
Chakrabarti has not publicly conceded as of Wednesday morning but spent his election watch party Tuesday night thanking volunteers.
“I know that the numbers don’t necessarily look great right now, but I don’t want anybody to fret,” he said. “This was expected.”
Critics, however, publicly cheered his loss.

Oh, and that’s a shame.
Chalrabati is the commie who installed AOC via casting couch auditions. He comes from a long line of Indian commies and is the trust fund baby of a billionaire commie.
The article trashes him. Carpetbagger extreme got shut out. He didn’t schmooze any locals , flashed some money about. Everyone decided they didn’t know him, didn’t want to know him and didn’t like him.
Watch out for this guy in future.
He understands that these politicians are just actors, and he intended to recruit a half dozen radical leftists via casting methods to win congressional seats, which he would then control.
So basically his plan was to control 6 Congressional votes and become a major power player.
AOC was the only winner of his group, and he was pushed aside by Pelosi.
But Pelosi is retired, but Chalrabati is still there, and still has billons.
