absolutely endorse her and stump for her.

But unlike Hillary in 2008, his base is very narrow. He is not popular like she was. They'll have to strategically deploy him to college towns in swing states. It will be important symbolism for him to throw his support behind her, and show that she is the progressives choice, but he is not delivering the same weight as she was 8 years ago.
