US, July 12, 2016 – Former presidential candidate of the Democratic Party, Bernie Sanders has endorsed Presumptive candidate of party, Hillary Clinton.
Sanders had vowed to fight to the last minute. But this endorsement is seen as good omen for the party, especially following calls from party members for the elderly senator to quit the race to enable Clinton concentrate on the general elections just few months away.
“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,” Sanders said, adding 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”, he said. Reacting to the development, Trump said, the candidate who ran against special interests is endorsing the candidate who embodies special interests.
“The candidate who ran against TPP is endorsing the candidate who helped draft the TPP. The candidate who ran in opposition to globalization is running against the candidate who has led the push for globalization. The candidate who warned that open borders destroy the working class is endorsing the candidate with the most open borders policy in our history.
“The candidate who wants to reform H1-B visas is endorsing the candidate who supported lifting the caps on H1-B visas. The candidate who wants less war is endorsing the candidate who launched wars in Iraq and Libya and would lead us to a new war in Syria. The candidate who wants to get money out of politics is voting for the candidate who has made a career out of making money from politics”, he said.
