I'll help Clinton defeat Trump --Sanders

Bernie Sanders has pledged to back presumptive Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton in a bid to defeat mouthy Republican candidate Donald Trump.

Sanders made the announcement during an online message saying he is going to back Hillary to ensure Trump is defeated in the November 8th elections but he did not formally pull out of the race for White House.

“The major political task that we face in the next five months is to make certain that Donald Trump is defeated and defeated badly, and I personally intend to begin my role in that process in a very short period of time,” the U.S. senator from Vermont said.

“I also look forward to working with Secretary Clinton to transform the Democratic Party so that it becomes a party of working people and young people, and not just wealthy campaign contributors,” he said in a speech broadcast from his hometown of Burlington, Vermont.
