It's been 28 days since the last Democratic Primary contest, and now it appears that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders may be on a path towards unity.
Both presidential candidates attended a rally in New Hampshire today — a state in which Senator Sanders defeated Secretary Clinton by 22 points. It's the first time the two have appeared during for an event this election cycle, and Sanders used the meeting to make one thing clear: He's with her.
"Our job now is to see that platform implemented by a Democratic Senate, a Democratic House and a Hillary Clinton president — and I am going to do everything I can to make that happen," the Vermont senator said while endorsing Clinton at the rally.
While he hasn't secured the votes to win the nomination, Senator Sanders has won many victories on platform positions, such as the minimum wage, opposition to the death penalty, and Wall Street reform. Additionally, in recent days, Secretary Clinton has unveiled broader policy agendas on higher education and healthcare that blend together the proposals put forth by both candidates.
Still, amidst victories have come setbacks. The Sanders campaign failed to get clear opposition to the Tran-Pacific Partnership and was unable to introduce some new language pertaining to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict into the Democratic Party platform.
As Sanders moves to endorse Clinton, we speak with Nomiki Konst, the host of "The Filter" on SiriusXM Progress, a member of the Democratic Platform Committee, and a Bernie Sanders surrogate. She explains what possible impact the Sanders' movement will have on future elections, and the senator's lasting legacy. Click on the 'Listen' button above to hear our full conversation.
