Democrats brace for a Sanders ticket in November

House Democrats are bracing for a presidential ticket led by democratic socialist Bernie Sanders, whose lead in polling and delegate support is making it increasingly unlikely that a centrist candidate can win the nomination.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters Tuesday she is not concerned that a Sanders-led ticket would make it harder to win the White House or maintain control of the House. Pelosi, a California Democrat, also said she plans to back Sanders if he wins the nomination, although she has not endorsed any Democratic presidential candidate so far.
