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.
