1st LD: Bernie Sanders endorses Hillary Clinton for 2016 U.S. election

Xinhua, July 13, 2016 Adjust font size:

Hillary Clinton's bitter rival in the Democratic Party presidential nomination race Bernie Sanders on Tuesday endorsed Clinton for the 2016 U.S. election.

"Secretary Clinton has won the Democratic nominating process," said Sanders during his first joint campaign appearance with Clinton after a chaotic primary season.

"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," said Sanders.

Sanders' endorsement came more than a month after Clinton clinched the Democratic Party nomination, and brought to the end a chaotic and divisive Democratic primary season where Sanders questioned Clinton's judgement as the country's future leader. Enditem
