Hillary Clinton Endorsed by Bernie Sanders in New Hampshire

At a campaign event in Portsmouth, New Hampshire on Tuesday, Hillary Clinton received the endorsement of her former rival for the Democratic nomination, Senator Bernie Sanders. During his speech, Sanders expressed his full support for Clinton saying that she will be a great president, and he stressed the importance of electing her over Republican Donald Trump. He said, “I have come here today not to talk about the past but to focus on the future. That future will be shaped more by what happens on Nov. 8 in voting booths across our nation than by any other event in the world. 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.”

Clinton also spoke to the crowd thanking Senator Sanders for his support and congratulating him on a hard fought campaign. Clinton then turned to her next task, unifying the Democratic party behind her. Speaking to Sanders’ supporters she said, “You will always have a seat at the table when I am in the White House.” Clinton then discussed a number of her platform points including equal rights, free college education, and universal health care. A full video from the event is below.

Clinton then attended a special showing of the hit Broadway musical Hamilton. The sold out performance was a fundraiser for Hillary for America.

While Hillary Clinton is focused on the New Hampshire Primary, former president Bill Clinton was in South Carolina today to meet with voters before the state’s February 27th primary. Bill spoke to a crowd of over 800 at Allen University, a traditionally African American school. He spoke about Hillary’s credentials and experience and why she is the best choice for president. He said, “As I have grown older — and hopefully a little wiser — I try to spend a little more time explaining things to people and a little less time trying to convert the already converted.” A video from the event will be posted when/if available.

Chelsea Clinton was in Minneapolis, Minnesota for a Women for Hillary event at the home of House Minority Leader Paul Thissen. About 250 people attended the event, including Gov. Mark Dayton. Chelsea spoke about the importance of the Minnesota primary, especially following the close race in Iowa. She spoke about her mother’s experience and plans as president. She said, “Our next president will play such a fundamental role in shaping the country and the world that my daughter … and her future little brother or sister will grow up in.”

Chelsea will be in South Carolina later this week. For all the latest, follow our revamped Scheduled Events page and follow Clinton on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
