Sanders backed Clinton: 5 facts about former rivals
Presumptive Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton on Tuesday will speak at an election event in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, along with his primary primaries rival, Bernie Sanders.
As the Clinton campaign staff reported, the two participants in the presidential race "will discuss their firm intention to build an America that will be stronger and an economy that will work for the good of all citizens, not just for those at the top," пишет "Voice of America".
Recalling the differences of the candidates, the edition The Hill noted 5 reasons why the Clinton-Sanders joint performance is worth watching.
1. "Chemistry"
No one doubts that Clinton and Sanders will exchange warm words. But will they be?
During the campaign for a democratic nomination, there was serious friction among the candidates. Clinton suggested to Sanders to deal with slogans, not politics. Sanders, in turn, was supporting Clinton with paid performances at Goldman Sachs.
How Clinton and Sanders will interact on Tuesday is as important as everything they say.
Will they really be comfortable with each other’s company or will there be moments of awkwardness?
2. How will Sanders support Clinton?
Lately, Sanders has been talking about supporting Clinton. Of course, if he had refused to support a fellow party member, it would have been a blow to the Democratic Party. But orders come in all shapes and sizes.
Will Sanders represent Clinton as the only candidate to stop Donald Trump? Or will he radiate enthusiasm for the possible Clinton presidency?
This is not only a matter of personal dynamics. Clinton would have more problems with progressive Democratic voters, since Sanders is very popular among young people.
3. Will Clinton support Sanders rhetoric?
Clinton sought to position herself on a par with the liberals in the party.
Some of the proposals of Sanders over the weekend were included in the draft official platform of the Democratic Party.
She can continue this position on Tuesday, emphasizing her unity with Sanders, and thereby conquer his supporters. But it is also possible that she will focus on the general electoral audience.
4. Where does Clinton move in politics?
Just as Clinton wants to get votes from Sanders, she also appeals to moderate and independent Republicans.
"Many of us have always felt that she was moving too left, even in recent weeks," said one longtime Clinton confidante.
5. Are they talking about unity?
US President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton - once a rival of Obama in the fight for the White House - have joined forces in the election campaign.
Will Clinton mention his loss to Obama to show that she was once in Sanders's place?
