Bernie Sanders endorses Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have officially called it quits on their political rivalry and joined forces to take on a common enemy: Donald Trump.

“I have come here to make it as clear as possible why I am endorsing Hillary Clinton and why she must become our next president,” Sanders said at a joint rally. “Secretary Clinton has won the Democratic nomination and I congratulate her for that.”
“I intend to do everything I can to make certain she will be the next president of the United States.”

For the past month, democrats have been working together in order to get some of Sander’s pillar policies adopted. The conversations held between Robby Mook, Clinton’s campaign manager, and Jeff Weaver, Sanders’ top and most trusted aide, led to the endorsement.

Aides and advisers said that while Sanders and Clinton’s June meeting in Washington, D.C., laid the groundwork for the New Hampshire event, it was Mook and Weaver who made the cooperation between the campaigns possible. After Clinton and Sanders left their meeting at the Hilton, Mook and Weaver stayed for two hours to discuss how to work together.

The two campaign managers would continue to talk daily, a Clinton aide said, and Mook traveled to Burlington, Vermont — where Sanders’ campaign is headquartered — last month so that the two could meet at the Farmhouse Tap and Grill to continue their work together.

The Vermont senator stood side-by-side with Clinton in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Tuesday. He pledged that his “political revolution” would continue. But he acknowledged that she, and not he, had won the delegates to snag the nomination. That has been true for weeks, and Democrats have not-so-quietly been angling for him to drop out and endorse the former secretary of state.

Sanders promised to work to help Clinton win in November, calling her “far and away the best candidate” to confront challenges facing the country.
