Nancy Pelosi says Bernie Sanders shouldn't drop out of race [View all]

Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that she did not want Bernie Sanders to drop his now-long-shot candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination — and that she was looking forward to his debate Sunday with Joe Biden.

“In case you were going to ask, no, I don’t think Bernie Sanders should get out of the race. I think — I’m a grassroots person,” the House speaker told reporters at the Capitol during her weekly press briefing.

“I know the enthusiasm of supporters for candidates and they want to see it play out for the ideas, the causes that the candidates advances, for the opportunity for people to show their support,” the California Democrat continued.

“I congratulate both of the candidates as they go into debate on Sunday. I wish them both well.”
