So by Nancy Pelosi endorsing him, is she anointing Mr. Engel in a dictator-like fashion?

I sense an OC race nomination in the horizon.

a) it would be weirdly impressive to lose despite having two extra candidates that could trap enough votes to keep Engel ahead of Bowman

b) Sanders didn't crack 30% in this district in 2016 (running 12% behind his statewide). So, I guess we'll see who benefits more from an increase in turnout from a primary with Biden having clinched, a zombie Sanders candidacy, and a bunch of mail-in balloting.
