Sanders to Join Clinton on Campaign Trail; Media Reports

Bernie Sanders has apparently decided to turn over a new leaf.

Sanders will join Hillary Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, at a campaign event in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on Tuesday where he’s poised to endorse Clinton.

The rivals will come together to “discuss their commitment to building an America that is stronger together and an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top,” the campaigns announced in statements early Monday.

The appearance comes after the firebrand Vermont senator scored several symbolic victories at the Democratic Platform Committee meeting in Orlando, Florida.

Although Sanders has not yet conceded to Clinton, nor endorsed her, some expect such language at the rally as Sanders was successful in including causes like climate change and $15 minimum wage on the Democratic platform over the weekend. “I think it’s fair to say that the Clinton campaign and I, our campaign, are coming closer and closer together,” Sanders said Saturday.

In the February primary, Sanders beat Clinton in New Hampshire by 22 points. Jeva Lange
