COOPER: I know – there’s obviously been a lot of discussion about whether you’d retire if Democrats lose the House. I know you’re not going to answer that question. So I’m not going to even ask that question.
PELOSI: Oh good, I’m glad.
COOPER: But I will ask, can you confirm that you’ve made a decision about what you would do?
PELOSI: That’s like asking the question, isn’t it?
COOPER: No, I’m not asking what the decision is. I’m just asking, have you looked ahead? And have you made the decision in your mind, whatever that decision might be?
PELOSI: Well, I have to say my decision will be affected about what happened the last week or two.
COOPER: Will it be – will your decision be impacted by the attack in any way?
PELOSI: Yes.
