Nancy Pelosi reveals the ‘purpose in life’ that inspired her to stab Biden, the staff she was ‘never impressed’ with… and why she’s crying about Joe dropping out of the race

Nancy Pelosi revealed the ‘life purpose’ behind her push to remove Joe Biden from the presidential race and why she’s now crying about her decision.

The president emeritus spoke about her relationship with the current president and her thoughts on former President Donald Trump in a series of interviews promoting her memoir, “The Art of Power.”

She said she was concerned that Trump would win in November and was therefore urging Biden to step down as the Democratic presidential candidate.

“My life’s goal was for that man to never set foot in the White House again,” she said of Trump, banging the table nine times to emphasize her words. the washington post reported.

But when asked if she ever directly told Biden to step aside or Trump would win, she flatly refused.

“I’m not going to answer that question,” she said.

When Trump was president and Pelosi was speaker, the two had a bitter, antagonistic relationship. She impeached him twice. He called her “Crazy Nancy” and “unhinged.”

Pelosi noted that she could not bear to have “events unfold as if they were rose petals” before returning to the White House.

And part of Pelosi’s fears were based on the fact that she was unimpressed with Biden’s campaign team and political advisers, as she told the David Remnick of The New Yorker.

“I’ve never been more impressed with his political operation,” she said. “They won the White House. Bravo. But my concern was, this is not going to happen, and we have to make a decision to let this happen. The president has to make the decision to let this happen.”

According to Democrats, Pelosi was one of the driving forces behind the pressure campaign on Biden.

The former speaker did not reveal exactly what role she played in interviews for her book tour.

She has said she “never once decided” to fire Biden, but instead received multiple calls from concerned Democrats who feared the party, with Biden at the top of the ticket, would lose both the House and the Senate.

She indicated that she has not spoken to Biden since he withdrew from the race.

Remnick asked her if she thought her relationship with him, which had lasted for decades, would last.

“I hope so,” she said. “I pray so. I cry so.”

“I have trouble sleeping because of it,” she added.

Pelosi resigned from her leadership of the House Democrats about a year ago, but her influence within the party is stronger than ever.

She’s never publicly called for Joe Biden to resign as the Democratic presidential nominee after his disastrous debate performance with Trump, but she has dropped plenty of hints about what she thinks about it.

Her biggest push came during an interview with MSNBC’s Morning Joe, when she answered a question about Biden as if he had never said — repeatedly — that he had no plans to withdraw.

“It’s up to the president to decide whether he will run,” she noted. “We all encourage him to make that decision because time is running out.”

Morning Joe is President Biden’s favorite morning program and he watches it regularly.

Pelosi claims she never planned her comments.

“That wasn’t my intention in (‘Morning Joe.’) In fact, if I had, I probably would have put on a different suit or something, because I didn’t look as professional.”

She also said she told Biden not to debate Trump.

“I thought it would be like dog poop, that you would get it on your shoe and you would all smell like him,” she said.

“I want to get on stage. I can handle this,” Biden told her, according to Pelosi’s account.

She said Biden “wanted to do it, he felt confident.”

In her interviews, Pelosi also indicated that she felt guilty about the 2022 attack on her husband Paul in their San Francisco home.

She also said the couple never spoke about it and that Paul Pelosi is still recovering from the ordeal.

She said her husband has recovered “about 80 percent” but the blow to his skull is still “affecting him” and he will need further therapy and time to recover.

“It’s horrible,” Pelosi said. “The physical damage is one thing. There’s also the trauma of the whole thing for our children, our grandchildren. It’s really sad. It happened in our house. In our home.”

She said it was still “scary” to be in the bedroom or the garden room “where he had forced his way in.”

“It would be a long time before we would go there,” she said.

Paul Pelosi was attacked with a hammer during a burglary at the couple’s San Francisco home in 2022. A federal grand jury found David DePape guilty of aattempted kidnapping of a federal official and assault on an immediate family member of a federal official.

DePape was sentenced to 30 years in prison.

Paul Pelosi testified at trial that on the day of the break-in, he was awakened by “a very large man” with a hammer and zip ties who asked, “Where’s Nancy?”

When he told his attacker that his wife was in Washington, D.C., DePape allegedly told him to tie him up and that they would wait until she returned. Paul Pelosi suffered a fractured skull in the attack.

Nancy Pelosi’s book ‘The Art of Power’ is now available.

When asked if the title of her book was a nod to Trump’s “The Art of the Deal,” she told the Associated Press: “Nothing I do has anything to do with him, except his downfall.”
