TPM reports that a CSPAN piece that will air latter today will include Sanders actually acknowledging what the rest of the planet has known for weeks:
Sanders spoke about his desire to leave a progressive mark on the Democratic Party and to take his "political revolution" to the party convention, although he recognized he isn't likely to win the nomination in Philadelphia.
"It doesn't appear that I'm going to be the nominee, so I'm not going to be determining the scope of the convention," Sanders told C-SPAN.
Meanwhile, Bloomberg has a new story reporting:
Nearly Half of Sanders Supporters Won't Support Clinton
In the two weeks since Hillary Clinton wrapped up the Democratic presidential primary, runner-up Bernie Sanders has promised to work hard to defeat Donald Trump — but he’s given no sign he’ll soon embrace Clinton, his party’s presumptive nominee. Neither have many of Sanders’s supporters. A June 14th Bloomberg Politics national poll of likely voters in November’s election found that barely half of those who favored Sanders — 55 percent — plan to vote for Clinton. Instead, 22 percent say they’ll vote for Trump, while 18 percent favor Libertarian Gary Johnson.
These two stories are not unrelated.
It is amazing to me that we could have a major political figure on the Democratic landscape who has such a gigantic ego that he cannot acknowledge Hillary Clinton’s historic victory and enthusiastically endorse her.
Update
While Sanders sulks in his tent nursing his self-regard, the leaders of the Democratic Party are moving on. Politico:
Clinton tells House Democrats she will compete in all 50 statesPresumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton got a raucous welcome from House Democrats on Wednesday during her first visit to Capitol Hill since clinching the nomination.
Entering the meeting to chants of "Hillary, Hillary!" The theme of the day was one word - unity, unity, and more unity. "We need to unify the country," Clinton said to applause.
Invited to address rank-and-file lawmakers by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Democratic Caucus Chairman Xavier Becerra (Calif.), Clinton told Democrats that she will compete in all 50 states and coordinate as much as possible with Democratic congressional candidates and incumbents.
I’m with her.
