Sanders to Colbert: No immediate plans to endorse Clinton; "absolutely" continuing presidential bid [View all]
WASHINGTON — Sen. Bernie Sanders told talk show host Stephen Colbert on Thursday he has no immediate plans to endorse Hillary Clinton in her general-election race against Donald Trump.
Sanders flatly said “no” when asked by Colbert whether he would endorse Clinton, who has effectively clinched the Democratic presidential nomination, during Thursday's taping of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. He also told Colbert he's "absolutely" continuing his presidential bid and said the need to "transform America," is more important than political campaigns.
"All of you and everybody else who’s watching have got to be involved in the political process, have got to stand up and fight for the kind of America that we know that we can become and I’m never going to give up on that fight," Sanders said to applause.
Colbert's audience clapped and chanted "Bernie" when he walked on stage. About half gave Sanders a standing ovation.
"You’ve gotten used to that," Colbert said. "Sounds awfully good," Sanders replied.
