Sean Duffyis opening up further about his decision to resign from Congress.
In a Tuesday interview onFox & Friends, the politician and his wife, Fox Nation hostRachel Campos-Duffy— who is currentlyexpecting their ninth child— talked about their family’s future, with Duffy revealing that their daughter on the way has “a couple holes in the heart.”
“I love politics, but I love my family, and I think it’s always a balance,” he continued. “The schedules are grueling. I’m out in D.C. four days a week, and then I’m back with Rachel. But when I’m back here with Rachel and the kids, I have a big district, and you gotta travel around and see people and we get beat up a little bit as members of Congress. We’re a favorite punching bag.”
“But they’re really hard on families, and I didn’t die. I kind of felt like I was at my funeral yesterday,” Duffy added. “I’ll figure out different things to do where I can have abetter balance where I can support Rachel and the kids, but not with the same schedule that I have as a U.S. congressman.”

“It is not an easy decision — because I truly love being your Congressman —but it is the right decision formy family, which is my first love and responsibility,” Duffy added.
In a Tuesday interview forThe Ingraham Angle, Campos-Duffy, 47, said she was “really proud” of her husband for stepping down, despite his popularity in Wisconsin.
“Our bandwidth is pretty tight as it is anyway, and Congress is a pretty demanding job. He’s just going to take a pause right now, take care of family stuff,” she said. “It’s a wonderful thing, it’s exciting and we’ll see what God has in store after we take care of thislittle girl that’s going to come into our livesin late October.”
