Political guessing game begins with Scott Wiener ahead in Pelosi seat buzz

June 3, 2026 | | Print Article

Perverted California state Sen. Scott Wiener (D) has advanced to the next election round in his bid to succeed outgoing Rep. Nancy Pelosi.

Wiener, a fan of teaching children about gay sex, came in first place during a Democratic primary election that occurred on Tuesday.

Behind Wiener in second place was Connie Chan, who also advanced to the general election. Meanwhile, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s former chief of staff, the radical Saikat Chakrabarti, lost.

Tuesday’s results mean that Wiener and Chan will face off during the Nov. 3 elections.

Chan is backed by Pelosi, who, according to reports, resents the fact that Wiener launched his campaign before she’d even announced her retirement.

“Wiener is expected to announce next week that he will run for the San Francisco House seat regardless of whether the former speaker retires,” Politico reported in October.

This announcement “infuriated Pelosi,” according to the New York Post.

Pelosi didn’t formally announce her retirement until Nov. 6:

“I say to my colleagues in the House all the time, no matter what title they have bestowed upon me, Speaker, Leader, Whip, there has been no greater honor for me than to stand on the House floor and say, I speak for the people of San Francisco,” she said in the video above.

“I have truly loved serving as your voice in Congress, and I have always honored the song of St. Francis, who would make me an instrument of thy peace, the anthem of our city. That is why I want you, my fellow San Franciscans, to be the first to know, I will not be seeking re-election to Congress. With a grateful heart, I look forward to my final year of service as your proud representative,” she added.

Pelosi later endorsed Chan earlier this month:

“I know this district, I know the Congress, and I know Connie,” she said in the clip above. “I’m proud to endorse Connie Chan, and I ask you to join me in electing her to Congress.”

“Connie Chan is the leader best prepared to carry forward the fight for San Francisco in the Congress of the United States,” she later added in separate remarks. “At a time when fundamental freedoms and democratic values are under assault, we need a leader in Congress who is prepared to fight — forcefully and effectively.”

Wiener shrugged off her endorsement of his opponent.

“I think it’s been crystal clear that I would be honored to have her endorsement, and I respect that she has made a choice, and that is entirely her choice to make, and that she’s made a choice,” he said after she announced her endorsement, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

After Tuesday’s victory, Wiener celebrated with a lengthy statement:

“In Congress, I’ll do what I’ve done throughout my time in public leadership: stick my neck out for bold ideas that make people’s lives better and more affordable,” some of his statement read. “I’ll go to the mat to defend immigrants and trans people, to deliver real results on housing affordability, and to restore government’s ability to deliver on its promises.”

As noted by his many critics, as a senator, Wiener has lobbied to reduce the crime of knowingly infecting someone with HIV from a felony to a misdemeanor. He’s also responsible for removing the automatic requirement to register someone on the sex offender list for having sex with a minor if the age difference is less than 11 years.
