Amid Clinton attacks, Sanders tries to move past 2016 [View all]
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Saturday pledged to unite behind the eventual Democratic presidential nominee if he does not win, a day after Hillary Clinton, who beat him in 2016, reiterated complaints that Sanders’s perceived lack of support landed President Trump in the White House.
Returning to Iowa for the first time in a week after being stuck in Washington for the impeachment trial, Sanders told voters his campaign team had built the strongest field organization in Iowa. But he said if he did not win the nomination, the Democratic Party will still be unified.
“Certainly I hope that we’re going to win. But if we do not win, we will support the winner, and I know that every other candidate will do the same. We are united in understanding that we must defeat Donald Trump,” Sanders said Saturday.
His comments seemed to be an effort to get past old wounds from the 2016 campaign, when the former Secretary of State and her allies criticized Sanders for what they perceived as a lack of enthusiasm in uniting Democratic voters ahead of the general election.
