SAN FRANCSICO -- State Senator Scott Wiener has announced his official bid for Congress, running for the seat currently occupied by Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi.

The move sets the stage for what could be a high-profile and competitive primary.

This news of Wiener, who represents San Francisco, officially running for the seat is coming while it's still unclear if Pelosi will seek reelection.

However, as some political experts have said, Wiener doesn't have time to wait for her announcement one way or the other.

"I'm running for Congress to defend San Francisco, our values, our people and the Constitution of the United States with everything I have," Wiener said in an announcement video. "I've stood up to violence and hate my entire life. Trump and his MAGA extremists don't scare me."
