Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the presidential nominee will have the final say on if Florida will have delegates at the convention.

“The Democratic National Committee is the ruling authority now .. but the tradition is that the presidential candidate will decide,” Pelosi said.

Pelosi points out that the nominee is not going to want to make any state unhappy.

“I had to go to the states and say if you don’t come within the window, you won’t be seated, and they said, ‘Ha, ha, ha’ because there’s no presidential candidate who’s going to say, `We’re not seating New Hampshire’ and ‘We’re not seating Iowa.’ ”
