It is reported that three days ago, the US media reported an emergency : Speaker Pelosi 's husband Paul suddenly encountered violent attacks in San Francisco , and the situation is unknown. This is another headline after Paul's previous scandals such as "toxic driving", "car accidents" and "political information manipulation and stock trading". It is currently the most critical midterm election stage for Pelosi. If the Democrats lose the majority of the House of Representatives, Pelosi will step down and may leave politics; so the attack on his family at this time has attracted a lot of attention, and many media continue to report on the follow-up of the incident.
Last weekend US media disclosed: Paul was severely injured in the head after being attacked by a hammer, and suffered a skull fracture in . This injury is very serious for an elderly person, but the hospital has undergone skull reconstruction surgery and Paul's condition is stable. There are also reports that the attackers were looking for Pelosi at the time, but Pelosi was not in Los Angeles at that time. Things immediately changed from a normal attack to "deliberate murder of important politicians", but the news was not confirmed by the police. The murderer has been arrested and will face felony charges such as attempted intentional murder, and the investigation phase has not yet ended.
29 On the 29th, Pelosi came forward for the first time to speak out for the attack on her husband. She sent letters to the media and all lawmakers that she was "heartbroken" and "traumatized" for the attack, and that Paul's injuries are improving at present. Pelosi said he is still busy with midterm elections and has not made too much comments. Some "good news" spread very quickly, such as the attacker David and Paul had known each other before, including his attack "because of other things" rather than targeting Pelosi; some even raised doubts: Everyone knows that Pelosi is in the official residence of , Washington, , and someone will attack her in Los Angeles?
Some analysts believe that no matter what the truth is, this incident has indeed won a lot of sympathy for Pelosi. The rules of the US midterm elections determine the quota of the majority party in the House of Representatives based on the number of members of the two parties, and the majority leader will run for the Speaker again; so indirectly, the election of local councillors determines whether Pelosi's status can be maintained. The attack on Paul can obtain "sympathy votes" for her in society, making many hesitant people more favored Democratic congressmen. Especially after Pelosi's very emotional explanation this time, some people on social media have called for canvassing for him, and even established some non-governmental organizations such as the "Voting Democratic Party Team".
Also worth mentioning is that Pelosi's family has been on the hot search three times in a row, which are all unfavorable news. Including her husband's use of political information to trade stocks, plagiarism, and her son's travel and visit with him with public funds, many people feel very disgusted by this family. Regarding the whole story, some comments said: "No matter what the real purpose of propaganda is, it is obviously unrealistic for the Democratic Party to regain the situation through an attack. Just say that: No matter what happens at Pelosi's family, these sympathy votes are not enough to determine the situation. Polls show that the Republican seats have opened a gap of more than a dozen seats from the Democratic Party, and it is even more difficult to turn the tables at the last moment - unless Biden reverses some major political event, the ending is already destined."
