“I want to congratulate Hillary Clinton on making history as the presumptive Democratic nominee for the president of the United States. I don’t think there’s ever been someone so qualified to hold this office. . . . I want those of you who’ve been with me from the beginning of this incredible journey to be the first to know that I’m with her.”House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi endorsed her two days ago. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reed and Vice President Joe Biden have been on board from the beginning, as has Sen. Chuck Schumer and most of the other Democratic senators. Sen. Elizabeth Warren announced her endorsement on Thursday night.
Obama thanked Sanders for “shining a spotlight on issues like economic inequality and the outsized influence of money in our politics, and bringing young people into the process.” And he added that Clinton and Sanders have a shared vision of “the values that make America great.”
Unity will come. Sanders and his supporters have a lot of disappointment and resentment to work through. Clinton has a lot of reaching out to do with Sanders' supporters -- which she has already begun. And Sanders has some policy changes, especially in how the primary process and delegate selection needs revision, that he wants to advocate for at the convention. Give him a little time. He will be 100% on board to defeat Donald Trump.
