Sanders endorses former rival Clinton for president
The joint appearance at a high school in Portsmouth, New Hampshire -- their first -- was the culmination of weeks of talks between the two campaigns aimed at unifying the party to most effectively take on Republican Donald Trump in **vember. "Secretary Clinton has won the Democratic **minating process, and I congratulate her for that," Sanders told a cheering crowd, with Clinton at his side. "She will be the Democratic **minee for president and I intend to do everything I can to make certain she will be the next president of the United States." The 74-year-old Sanders, a US senator from Vermont, offered voters a litany of reasons why the 68-year-old former secretary of state is a better choice than the 70-year-old Manhattan real estate mogul. "If anyone out there thinks that this election is **t important, take a moment to think about the Supreme Court justices that Donald Trump will **minate, and what that means to civil liberties, equal rights and the future of our country," Sanders said. Putting aside the acrimony, Clinton thanked Sanders for his endorsement -- even if their body language did **t exude warmth and was downright awkward at times. "I am proud to be fighting alongside you," she said. "We are stronger together." Sanders waged a tougher-than-expected year-long battle against Clinton, but she clinched e**ugh delegates to secure the **mination in early June. The feisty self-described democratic socialist nevertheless had refused to concede defeat to his more moderate rival, although he had said he would vote for Clinton. Sanders wants to ensure that his ideas are part of the party platform presented at the Democratic National Convention later this month in Philadelphia, when Clinton is formally **minated. Sanders said that at weekend talks in Orlando, "there was a significant coming together between the two campaigns and we produced, by far, the most progressive platform in the history of the Democratic Party." The party reached agreement on language concerning climate change, health care and raising the minimum wage in America to $15 per hour. They reportedly failed, however, to reach common ground on the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade accord. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Sanders endorses former rival Clinton for president || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
