Bernie Sanders Expected to Endorse Hillary Clinton on Tuesday
According the Associated Press, both campaigns are discussing a potential event in New Hampshire next week, where Sen.
On Thursday, Sanders telegraphed where he’s heading with a near-endorsement.
WASHINGTON, D.C. >> Bernie Sanders offered some of his warmest praise yet for presidential campaign rival Hillary Clinton on Wednesday, applauding her newly released higher education proposal, which includes key ideas he pushed during the primaries. On Wednesday, she called for getting rid of the cost of attendance for in-state public college and universities if students come from families making less than $125,000 a year. That directly conflicts with the agenda of the Obama administration, and at one time it was an issue that clearly contrasted Sanders with Clinton.
Some Democrats have grown tired of Sanders’ apparent reluctance to back Clinton, and a group reportedly booed him during a closed session with the House Democratic caucus Wednesday morning after he wouldn’t answer questions about when he would endorse her.
For three weeks, Sanders has been steadily walking closer to throwing his full support behind Clinton, but has been withholding a formal endorsement until the platform is written.
“Well, I watch the shows”, Trump says. But what is over is that she has more delegates than I do.
Plans for that joint appearance could still fall apart, and patience is running thin among some – with Sanders insistent on policy concessions and Clinton aides feeling he’s lingered in the race too long after Clinton became the presumptive Democratic nominee.

Regardless, Bernie Sanders cautioned Wolf Blitzer against lambasting Hillary Clinton, but said that when it came to her “judgement”, he disapproved of her decision to vote for “the war”.
Sanders’s endorsement is also expected to ensure that he has a prominent speaking slot at the Democratic convention scheduled to take place from 25 to 28 July in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the sources said.
