Guess the revolution is dead.
Bernie Sanders endorsed Hillary Clinton at a joint-campaign rally in New Hampshire on Tuesday, saying that "together" he and Clinton would continue the goals of the "political revolution."
"Secretary Clinton has won the Democratic nominating process, and I congratulate her for that. 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 at Portsmouth High School while standing next to Clinton.
"I have come here to make it as clear as possible as to why I am endorsing Hillary Clinton and why she must become our next president," he added.
Sanders held out on an endorsement until after a month after Clinton secured the necessary number of delegates, but eventually decided to join the presumptive Democratic nominee in the campaign trail after her campaign accepted some of his more progressive policy proposals on healthcare and higher education.
Update: Bitter clinger.
Via The Atlantic:
Bernie Sanders’s fight for the White House has reached its end. He appeared side-by-side with his long-time rival Hillary Clinton on Tuesday and officially endorsed her as the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee. The endorsement was proof that even Sanders can no longer ignore the reality that the Democratic race is over—and he lost.
“Secretary Clinton has won the Democratic nominating process, and I congratulate her for that,” Sanders said during a joint appearance with Clinton in New Hampshire clearly aimed at unity. That doesn’t mean, however, that he is ready to formally exit the race. According to a campaign spokesman, Sanders remains a presidential candidate and is not dropping out of the race following his endorsement of Clinton. During the speech, Sanders was quick to remind the crowd that “we have begun a political revolution … and that revolution continues.”
