With every pledge to unify the Democratic Party, Hillary Clinton is acknowledging one of her biggest challenges between now and November: getting millions of Bernie Sanders’ fans to give her their votes.
The Clinton campaign is still trying to figure out exactly what Sanders wants in exchange for rallying his supporters to her side. In recent weeks, he’s suggested that Clinton can’t expect them to just fall in line, but he hasn’t enumerated exactly what he believes would draw them in. He hasn’t said which of his policy positions is most important for her to adopt or at least shift closer toward, or what other moves she could make that would satisfy him.
With 13 nominating contests still to go, and Sanders vowing to fight on, Clinton’s campaign is taking a soft-sell approach, and waiting for a clear signal of intentions from the Vermont senator.
“I see a great role and opportunity for him and his supporters to be part of that unified party to move into not just November to win the election against Donald Trump, but to then govern based on the progressive goals that he and I share,” Clinton said in an interview with CBS’ Face the Nation program that aired Sunday.
