On Thursday evening, outgoing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) sat down with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) at a restaurant for a joint interview with CNN’s Jamie Gangel.
At one point, Gangel asked Pelosi what a second Trump presidency would mean.
“I don’t think that we should talk about him while we’re eating,” Pelosi replied, prompting laughter from Schumer.
“Really? Another Trump presidency?” Pelosi continued, before suggesting there’s “a need for an intervention there by his family or somebody.”
“I don’t think he’s on the level, no,” she added.
During the interview, Schumer talked about how Pelosi dealt with Trump during his presidency.
“I tell people Nancy instinctively knew how to handle Trump, because for her first, you know, 35, 40 years of life, she raised five children, and she knew how to deal with children. And that’s what helped her deal with Trump, because he ultimately was a child,” Schumer said.
The Democratic leaders also said they would back President Joe Biden to run for the White House again in 2024.
“I think President Biden has done an excellent job as president of the United States,” said Pelosi. “I hope that he does seek reelection. He’s been a great president.”
“Look at what he’s accomplished. He’s done an excellent, excellent job and if he runs, I’m gonna support him all the way,” Schumer added.
