"Hillary does well -- I think they all do well on them -- and we should have more debates," said Pelosi, who has praised Clinton but not officially endorsed her.
"They thought 26 was too many, and I think it is, and you probably should have something in between," Pelosi added, referring to the marathon debate schedule during Clinton's first run in 2008. "But I don't know that we're going to have more debates."
