News - Middle East: Former US President Donald Trump has vowed to end the political career of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, calling the top Democrat an “animal” for impeaching him twice, as he made his strongest hint yet that he may launch a third run for the White House after the midterm elections.

Trump, who was appearing at a rally near Dayton, Ohio on Monday in support of Republican Senate candidate JD Vance, lashed out at Pelosi less than two weeks after the Democratic Speaker’s husband, Paul Pelosi, was assaulted by an assailant with a hammer at the couple’s San Francisco home.

Trump's disparaging remarks about Pelosi were made on the eve of the decisive midterm elections on Tuesday.

He used the rally to declare that he would be “making a very big announcement” about his future at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida on November 15.
