He’ll be with her.

Bernie Sanders said Friday that he will vote for Hillary Clinton in November.

“Yes,” the Vermont senator replied when asked about the possibility on “Morning Joe.”

“I think the issue right here is: I’m going to do everything I can to defeat Donald Trump,” he continued. “I think Trump, in so many ways, will be a disaster for this country if he were to be elected president. We do not need a president whose cornerstone of his campaign is bigotry.”

Sanders is continuing to soldier on in the Democratic primary despite the fact that Clinton, the party’s presumptive nominee, has already reached the delegate threshold and every primary contest has been held. Some of his supporters have vowed to not vote for Clinton in the general election.

He visited New York City on Thursday to give a “Where We Go From Here” speech to his supporters, vowing to campaign further on behalf of his populist policy platform. Later in the day Friday, he plans to give another such speech in Albany, N.Y.

During his trip to Manhattan, Sanders sat down for an interview CBS’ “The Late Show” in which he said he was not not planning on exiting the race in the immediate future. He told host Stephen Colbert that he wants to push Clinton’s agenda to the left.

“We want our 12 million supporters to be heard,” he said.

“Our campaign is talking to Secretary Clinton and her campaign,” he added. “And what we are trying to do is make certain that she is going to come out very strongly in moving toward making public colleges and universities tuition-free.”
