After Vice President Joe Biden announced Thursday in an interview with NPR that Bernie Sanders was "going to endorse" Hillary Clinton, it seemed like — at long last — the time had finally come. But not so fast, Sanders said in an interview later Thursday on MSNBC's All In with Chris Hayes. While Sanders acknowledged that he had indeed talked to Biden about "three weeks ago," he said that he is still "trying to work with Secretary Clinton's campaign on areas that we can agree on" before making the big endorsement.
"We are working with the Clinton campaign, trying to be able to come forward and say to my supporters out there, 'You know what? Here's the progress that we have made,'" Sanders said. "I hope that we can reach that goal. We are not there at this moment."
