Nancy Pelosi will not be stepping away from Congress anytime soon, she said on Sunday, despite mounting calls from young Democrats for a new generation of elected officials.
The House Speaker was cagey on whether she’d once again run for a leadership role, however, explaining that the decision would depend largely on her family in the wake of a recent break-in of her San Francisco home that left her 82-year-old husband Paul with a skull fracture and other injuries requiring hospitalization.
Democrats’ midterm election performance defied expectations, with President Joe Biden’s party winning the Senate while the House of Representatives – which had long been projected to gain at least 30 GOP seats – is still in play but leaning Republican.
In a pair of Sunday news talk show interviews, Pelosi partially credited Biden for Democrats’ strong performance and gave a full-throated endorsement for the president to run a second term.
‘President Biden has been a great President for our country. He has accomplished so much,’ Pelosi told ABC News’ This Week despite other Democrats having seen the commander-in-chief and his low job approval numbers as an albatross hung around their necks.
On the GOP side, she suggested to CNN’s State of the Union that Republicans’ ‘horrible response’ to her husband Paul’s assault could be partially to blame for turning voters off from their candidates.
Pelosi told the network that Paul was ‘closer to recovery’ each day but that it would be ‘a long haul’ after an intruder who espoused QAnon beliefs online broke into their home late last month and ended up assaulting him with a hammer – all while looking for the Speaker herself, who was not home.
“Pelosi has NO PLANS to ‘step away from Congress’ and says Biden SHOULD run again in 2024 after strong midterm STEALING. Nancy suggests some voters were turned off by GOP’s ‘horrible response’ to assault on husband Paul”

The educated public sees right through this story even though NBC has changed their story on this several times to fit the manufactured story. This was a booty call gone bad.
