Clinton Keeps Pressure on Trump at Planned Parenthood Gathering
US Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said Senator Elizabeth Warren, a leader of the progressive wing in the Democratic Party, was qualified to be her running mate. So this election, is it about the same old fight between Democrats and Republicans, they will be there, don’t worry. “Things feel quite different now”, she said, citing an upcoming Supreme Court case on Texas abortion laws, which she described as the “biggest challenge to Roe v. Wade in a generation”.
Speaking two days earlier to NPR Radio, Mr Merkley said he hoped that Ms Clinton “will take into account the huge resonance of the vision that Senator Sanders was putting forward”.
“This [Mr Sanders’ campaign] has inspired millions of citizens – a style of campaign we’ve never seen before winning 22 states, extraordinary number of caucuses”, he added.
Elizabeth Warren joined that effort Thursday evening, both endorsing Clinton and signaling to many of Sanders’ supporters that it’s time to unite around the party’s presumptive nominee.
It all started when Barack Obama publicly endorsed Hillary Clinton in a web video on Thursday.
Reading mostly from teleprompters, he declared Clinton “unfit to be president” while vowing to “restore faith to its proper mantle” in the U.S. “It’s about who we are as Americans”, she said.
Mrs Clinton welcomed the endorsement, saying it “meant the world” to her and she was “thrilled”. Bernie Sanders’ presidential bid. His first campaign stop with Mrs Clinton will be in Wisconsin on June 15.
“And a lot of that is thanks to Senator Bernie Sanders, who has run an incredible campaign”, Obama continued. “He says if women want equal pay, they should just, and this is a quote, ‘do as good a job as men, ‘” Clinton said.
Until Wednesday, Warren was the only one of the 14 Democratic women in the Senate who hadn’t endorsed Clinton, preferring, she said to let voters make their choice between Clinton and Sen. “Hillary will bring hundreds of thousands of refugees, many of whom have hostile beliefs about people of different faiths and values”, he said. A presidential spokesman said that the Vermont Senator, who remains defiant, was not surprised.
However, he said he would work with Mrs Clinton to defeat Mr Trump. “But nobody says that she doesn’t know how to throw a punch”.
On Thursday night, Sanders’ District of Columbia rally outside RFK Stadium didn’t mention Clinton and didn’t repeat his calls to persuade superdelegates to support him or his plans for a contested convention in Philadelphia. Last but not least, one has reasons to worry about what she publicly stated she would do if elected to the presidency: “If I’m President, we will attack Iran…we would be able to totally obliterate them” – with nuclear weapons, one wonders!
