PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — Bernie Sanders threw his support behind presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton at a rally here Tuesday, more than a month after Clinton effectively clinched the nomination.
“Secretary Clinton has won the Democratic nominating process, and I congratulate her for that,†Sanders said. “She will be the Democratic nominee for president and I intend to do everything I can to make certain she will be the next president of the United States,†the senator from Vermont said in this battleground state, where Sanders and Clinton appeared side by side before a boisterous crowd.
“We are joining forces to defeat Donald Trump and build a future we can all believe in,†Clinton told the crowd, borrowing words from Sanders’s campaign slogan, as she addressed the crowd.
Though both Clinton and Sanders stressed Democratic unity during a joint rally in a packed high school gym, much remains unknown about how — and whether — the political marriage unveiled Tuesday will actually work.
