After a long Democratic primary battle, the two candidates, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton, will finally come together Tuesday in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, to "discuss their commitment to building an America that is stronger together and an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top," a press release said. The appearance marks their first unified effort to defeat Donald Trump.
Sanders is expected to formally endorse Clinton Tuesday, more than a month after she clinched the nomination. By withholding his endorsement, Sanders has succeeded in pushing Clinton towards a more liberal platform. Clinton has moved to embrace some of Sanders' positions on college tuition, the minimum wage, and healthcare.
