‘Decision will be affected’: Nancy Pelosi reveals she may retire from politics due to attack on husband Paul
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA: When Capitol Police called her up in the middle of the night, Nancy Pelosi said she never imagined that her husband Paul Pelosi would have been the one in her family to be attacked. The House Speaker also stated that the attack will have an impact on her political future following the 2022 midterm elections despite the fact that she has previously declined to address the possibility of her continuing in the House leadership role if Democrats lost the majority.
Nancy said she was "scared" when she heard the doorbell and five bangs at her door, assuming that whoever was there got the wrong place, in her first television interview since her 82-year-old husband sustained skull fractures after being attacked with a hammer. “I look up, I see it's 5, they must be at the wrong apartment,” she said in the interview with CNN. “So I run to the door, and I'm very scared,” Pelosi told Anderson Cooper. “I see the Capitol Police and they say, 'We have to come in to talk to you,'” she added. According to Pelosi, she initially assumed the news wouldn't apply to her husband and instead thought about her grandchildren and children. “I never thought it would be Paul because, you know, I knew he wouldn't be out and about, shall we say,” the House Speaker said of her homebody husband. “And so they [Capitol Police] came in. At that time, we didn't even know where he was. All we knew is there had been an assault on him in our home.”
