Laura Cavanaugh—FilmMagicLaura Cavanaugh—FilmMagic by [Daniel White](https://time.com/author/daniel-white/) ## Daniel White Jul 1, 2016 12:10 AM UTC Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday that Vermont Sen. [Bernie Sanders](http://time.com/4384981/hillary-clinton-millennials-tech/) [will endorse](http://www.npr.org/2016/06/30/484214411/biden-bernie-sanders-is-going-to-endorse-hillary-clinton?utm%5Fcampaign=storyshare&utm%5Fsource=twitter.com&utm%5Fmedium=social) Hillary Clinton for president. Biden told NPR’s Rachel Martin in a sit-down interview that he has talked to Sanders and that he will endorse Clinton, though no word of when this endorsement will come. “Oh, I’ve talked to Bernie, Bernie’s going to endorse her, this is going to work out,” Biden told Martin in an interview set to air this weekend. “The Democrats are coalescing even before this occurs.” Sanders, who [lost the delegate race](http://motto.time.com/4361082/hillary-clinton-nomination-brooklyn-speech-win/) in the Democratic primaries to Clinton, has continued to campaign, telling supporters last week that he would [continue his “political revolution.”](http://time.com/4381006/bernie-sanders-manhattan-speech/) He did say, however, that [he would vote for Clinton in November](http://time.com/4381385/bernie-sanders-vote-hillary-clinton/?iid=sr-link2), but hadn’t endorsed her for president because he “hadn’t heard her say the things I need to hear said.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4390768/biden-sanders-endorse-clinton/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4390768/biden-sanders-endorse-clinton/"},"headline":"Joe Biden: Bernie Sanders Will Endorse Hillary Clinton","datePublished":"2016-07-01T00:10:15.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T23:00:07.249Z","description":"Biden says he spoke with the Vermont senator","url":"https://time.com/4390768/biden-sanders-endorse-clinton/","keywords":["2016 Election","democrats","2016 Election topic","Joe Biden","Bernie Sanders"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdc353a562665e277/6988989e196cf4e6b703c174/gettyimages-5401734321.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Daniel White","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/daniel-white/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdc353a562665e277/6988989e196cf4e6b703c174/gettyimages-5401734321.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"75th Annual Father Of The Year Awards Luncheon","caption":"75th Annual Father Of The Year Awards Luncheon","creditText":"Laura Cavanaugh—FilmMagic","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4390768/biden-sanders-endorse-clinton/","name":"Joe Biden: Bernie Sanders Will Endorse Hillary Clinton"}}]}] ```
