BURLINGAME, Calif. (AP) – The Latest on the California Republican Party’s convention, a stage for the GOP presidential candidates (all times local):

8 a.m.

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi is dismissing Donald Trump’s contention that Hillary Clinton is playing the woman’s card in her bid for the presidency.

Pelosi says in Washington that Clinton is playing the “experience card” and Trump is playing the joker.

Pelosi was the first female speaker when Democrats controlled the House. She calls the prospect of a female president a “wonderful, glorious thing” but says a gender-based argument for a presidential candidacy is not a winning message. Rather, Pelosi says, the most successful argument is capability.
