TIL Desk/World/Philadelphia-Ending months of animosity, Vermont senator Bernie Sanders today “proudly” endorsed former rival Hillary Clinton for the top post, saying she must become the next US President as the choice between her and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is not “close”. “Based on her ideas and her leadership Hillary Clinton must become the next president of the United States. The choice is not even close,” 71-year-old Sanders said in his address to the Democratic National Convention which kicked off here.
Sanders who, to the surprise of many, attracted millions of supporters during the primary season espousing his “political revolution” that would provide free health care, free education, increase minimum wage and impose taxes on the rich, asserted that the other option before Americans this presidential election is not worth it. The endorsement by Sanders who has been a thorn in Clinton’s side over the last year ends a lengthy and awkward period in which many were wondering if and how he would back Clinton.
“In these stressful times for our country, this election must be about bringing our people together, not dividing us up. While Donald Trump is busy insulting one group after another, Hillary Clinton understands that our diversity is one of our greatest strengths,” he told his cheering supporters. “Yes. We become stronger when black and white, Latino, Asian-American, Native American all of us stand together.
