Gisele Fetterman just released a new book and she's on the media interview trail promoting it. During that, she's made several bombshell headlines regarding her husband, Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman.

According to the Daily Mail, the senator's wife opened up about her thoughts regarding a potential president8al run for her husband, and snhe made it clear that she's most certainly not interested.

Her thoughts on the matter came via an interview with Meghan McCain. Fetterman sat down with McCain at her home in Braddock, Pennsylvania for the interview.

Gisele Fetterman did the interview as she promotes her new book, "Radical Tenderness: The Value of Vulnerability in an Often Unkind World."

What did she say?

McCain asked Gisele Fetterman if she felt like her husband had White House ambitions, and while she left that decisionm to Sen. Fetterman, she made it clear that she wouldn't be supporting it.

"I mean that's a question for him, but I certainly wouldn't be supportive," Gisele Fetterman said.

"That's his choice," she explained. "I can support him if that's what he wants to do. I wouldn't try to stop someone from wanting to do something. Sure. But I would never say, this is what I think you should do. I think you should run for Senate. That never would've been my, my idea for him."

McCain then asked her about the campaigning lifestyle and if she liked it.

"I have liked campaigning at different times in my life," she answered. "I don't think I like it anymore."

She made the comment that she doesn't "feel safe in a lot of spaces" as one of the reasons why she's uneasy about campaigning.

Past experiences

In her book, she detailed some of the security issues she's had while out and about in the public, including one story about a woman who recognized her at a grocery store.

The Daily Mail noted:

She was calling me a thief and telling me I "don’t belong in this country." She said I had "ruined John’s bloodline,"' Fettterman wrote in her book. 'I was frozen, in shock. The hate and darkness in her face was, frankly, terrifying.'

"I think it's been a while since I really felt safe," Gisele Fetterman admitted.

It'll be interesting to see if Sen. Fetterman actually decides to take that route.
