House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on Thursday that she doesn’t want to see Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) drop out of the 2020 presidential race, despite the democratic presidential candidate’s recent losses to former Vice President Joe Biden. 

Pelosi made the comments at the Capitol on Thursday, a day after she said she would be comfortable with Sanders as the Democratic presidential nominee ahead of the Nov. 3 presidential election.
