The Vermont Senator’s declaration fell intentionally short of full endorsement, within an hour.
Bernie only said he was voting for her on MSNBC. An hour later on CNN, he walked that back with a caveat as well. https://t.co/7STavdFgVY

Sanders pulled back on his initial declaration saying that he would be voting for Clinton “in all likelihood.”

Sanders, who has not officially conceded the race to Clinton, only sharing with MSNBC his passionate feelings in opposition of Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump.
“We do not need a President whose cornerstone of his campaign is bigotry, is insulting Mexicans and Latinos and Muslims and women, who does not believe in the reality of climate change when virtually every scientist who has studied this issue understands that we have a global crisis. This is not somebody who should become President,” Sanders said.
While Sanders has been working closely with the Clinton camp, there are a few sticking points, including a $15 dollar minimum wage and tuition-free college, that he would like to see addressed before throwing the weight of his full support.
Semantics aside, one thing seems sure, there will be no definitive #ImWithHer declaration from the Sanders camp today.
