Bernie Sanders to Endorse Hillary Clinton in NH Next Week: Report

Bernie Sanders is expected to endorse Hillary Clinton Tuesday at a campaign event in New Hampshire.

Clinton's campaign said Thursday the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee will be in the Granite State to "discuss her commitment to building an America that is stronger together" but made no mention of Sanders. The location and time frame of the New Hampshire event also were not revealed.

But CNN reported Sanders will accompany Clinton and endorse her. The Vermont senator hinted as much Thursday in an interview with Bloomberg's Albert Hunt.

“We have got to do everything that we can to defeat Donald Trump and elect Hillary Clinton," Sanders said. “I don’t honestly know how we would survive four years of Donald Trump as president."

Key Democrats for weeks have been urging Sanders to get behind Clinton ahead of the party's convention next month.

Latest polling averages by RealClearPolitics show Clinton leading presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, 46 points to 41 points.

Trump two weeks ago held a campaign event in Manchester, New Hampshire, arguing the U.S. should withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership and renegotiate NAFTA.

Clinton's campaign said she will also speak about "an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top" during her New Hampshire event Tuesday.
