In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper that aired on Friday, Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton said that she welcomes her opponent Bernie Sanders' progressive platform and passionate supporters as they work together to accomplish one primary objective: beating Donald Trump.
Clinton spoke as if she were the presumptive Democratic nominee, saying that she welcomes the Vermont senator's ideas for the future of the party leading up to the Democratic National Convention in July.
“In the lead up to the convention, in the lead up to the platform that we’ll represent, the Democratic Party… I really welcome [Sanders’] ideas and his supporters’ passion and commitment because the most important thing for us is to win in November,” said Clinton, despite the fact that Sanders is still running against her for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination.
“There is no more important goal,” she continued. “And I was pleased when Senator Sanders said the other day he’s gonna work tirelessly, seven days a week, to make sure that Donald Trump is not president.”
“And I really welcome that because that has to be our primary objective,” she added.
