Although Sanders has not formally endorsed Clinton, he has said he would vote for her. This campaigns have also been negotiating policy details for the Democratic Party's official platform; over the weekend, the party's Platform Drafting Committee will vote on the policy document that will be presented at the Democratic National Convention later this month. Sanders said the platform is "the most progressive" in recent history, and includes Wall Street reforms, rejecting super PAC money, and expanding Social Security.
