He said he’s prepared for attacks that might come from the House or Senate if Republicans take over in the midterm elections in November. Fauci told CNN's "At This Hour" that his comments were interpreted as a retirement announcement, but he just meant "that it is extremely unlikely – in fact, for sure – that I am not going to be here beyond January 2025."

Fauci, 81, has served more than five decades under seven presidents. He told the outlet he wants to help "repair the national bonds that the pandemic shredded and tamp down the partisan polarization that has turned him, and science itself, into a lightning rod."
