Bernie Sanders says Hillary Clinton must become the next president because she can take on issues like income inequality, climate change and student debt.

During his endorsement of Clinton in New Hampshire on Tuesday, Sanders said his campaign was about people who are "left out and left behind." He says Clinton is prepared to fight to raise the minimum wage, create jobs, expand access to health care and address climate change.

Sanders also said Trump does not share those values. He said Trump would not hike the current minimum wage and would appoint Supreme Court justices that would threaten civil liberties and equal rights.

Sanders has avoided endorsing Clinton for weeks. But he said Tuesday that he was pleased by the updates to the official party platform made over the weekend, which he called the most progressive in history. He said he would work to make sure the party follows through.
