Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton
has received an endorsement from her former rival Bernie Sanders. The Vermont
senator and former Democratic presidential candidate appeared with Mrs Clinton
at a campaign event in New Hampshire.
Mrs Clinton and Mr Sanders have been negotiating since she
all but guaranteed the nomination in June. Mr Sanders hopes to have a large
influence on the Democratic platform. "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," he said.
"This campaign is about the needs of the American
people and addressing the very serious crises that we face. And there is no
doubt in my mind that, as we head into November, Hillary Clinton is far and
away the best candidate to do that."
Some Sanders supporters booed at the joint rally and Mr Sanders appeared to motion them to stop. At the end of Mrs Clinton's remarks, the two shared a hug and smiled. Mr Sanders defeated Mrs Clinton in New Hampshire's primary contest in February.
