Sanders says he will vote for Clinton

I think the issue right here is I'm gonna do everything I can to defeat Donald Trump, says Vermont senator

WASHINGTON: Bernie Sanders said on Friday he will vote for Hillary Clinton in the US presidential election in November, bowing to his former rival for the White House but stopping short of a full endorsement.

Asked on MSNBC whether he would cast his ballot for Clinton, the Vermont senator who waged a surprisingly tough campaign during the primaries said, "Yes."



"I think the issue right here is I'm gonna do everything I can to defeat Donald Trump," Sanders said, referring to the billionaire businessman who is the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
