House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters Wednesday morning that she’s comfortable with Sen. Sanders potentially securing the Democratic nomination, even as some her more moderate members push back against his candidacy.

Mrs. Pelosi gave a curt “yes” to reporters when asked if she was OK with his potential nomination, before heading into a secure briefing.

The California Democrat and two of her top lieutenants — Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and House Democratic Chairman Hakeem Jeffries — have stayed away from taking a side in the heated Democratic primary and are confident such a progressive candidate won’t hurt their chances to hold on to the majority in 2020.
