Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders said Tuesday he is supporting Hillary Clinton in her effort to be the next president for the United States. Sanders spoke with a smiling Clinton at his side at a school in New Hampshire. The two competed earlier this year for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination. “It is no secret that Hillary Clinton and I disagree on a number of issues,” said Sanders. “That’s what this campaign has been about. That’s what democracy is about.” But he said that on many important issues such as income inequality, climate change and immigration -- Clinton is the best candidate for the nation. The Democratic “unity” announcement came just two weeks before the party’s national convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Convention delegates are expected to make Clinton, the former U.S. secretary of state, the party’s candidate in the presidential elections. The Republican Party is expected to nominate businessman Donald Trump as its candidate.
