If Pelosi decides to retire, the San Francisco state senator could transfer his campaign warchest into a new committee to run in 2026.

Note: this is Scott Weiner, not Anthony Weiner.

Anthony Weiner resigned from Congress in June 2011 after it was revealed that he had sent sexually suggestive photos of himself to different women, including a minor.

      At a minimum this guy won’t have the same level of intuitional clout Pelosi used many many times to hinder progressive policies and engage in political horse trading. So even if this guy is literally a 1-for-1 Pelosi clone he’ll be a much weaker hurdle to overcome than she was.
