Bernie Sanders isn't interested in getting 2020 advice from Hillary Clinton because of their 'fundamental differences'
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) hasn't met with Hillary Clinton about his 2020 campaign, and he doesn't expect that to change.
The Democratic candidate for president was asked on The View on Friday whether he'll meet with Clinton and seek her advice, as other candidates like Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) have. "I suspect not," he said. "She has not called me."
After saying that Clinton has "played a very important role in modern American politics," Sanders was asked to clarify whether he's "interested" in getting advice from her, and he responded, "I think not ... Hillary and I have fundamental differences."
