Bernie Sanders](http://time.com/4301570/bernie-sanders-2016-time-100/?iid=sr-link1) of Vermont will join Hillary Clinton at a campaign rally in New Hampshire on Tuesday, where he is expected to endorse his former rival. Sanders is joining Clinton at Portsmouth High School to “discuss their commitment to building an America that is stronger together,” according to a Clinton [campaign release](https://twitter.com/jeneps/status/752442853427642368), but the self-proclaimed Democratic socialist is expected to formally endorse Clinton at the event. Sanders beat Clinton during a primary contest in the Granite State by [22 percentage points](http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/10/us/politics/new-hampshire-primary.html). Though Sanders said repeatedly that he would vote for Clinton in the general election after her edge on him grew so significant that she was deemed the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, he has not yet endorsed. His goal was to keep the pressure on Clinton and the Democratic party to adopt more of his policy proposals. After Clinton announced last week that she would be pushing a tuition-free college plan, a pillar of the Sanders platform, an endorsement seemed more likely. Over the weekend, Sanders also met with Democratic Party leaders to push his platform agenda at a meeting. After that meeting, he told reporters his campaign and the Clinton campaign were getting “closer and closer,” the [New York _Times_](http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/11/us/politics/bernie-sanders-hillary-clinton.html?%5Fr=0) reports. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4400713/bernie-sanders-hillary-clinton-new-hampshire-2/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4400713/bernie-sanders-hillary-clinton-new-hampshire-2/"},"headline":"Bernie Sanders Set to Endorse Hillary Clinton at New Hampshire Rally","datePublished":"2016-07-11T11:49:53.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-19T07:45:58.047Z","description":"Former rivals will \"discuss their commitment to building an America that is stronger together\"","url":"https://time.com/4400713/bernie-sanders-hillary-clinton-new-hampshire-2/","keywords":["Hillary Clinton","2016 Election","Education","Election","Bernie Sanders","Election 2016","Democrats 2016"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt659c83447c3e5573/69889b62656a3f3d17bcc39e/gettyimages-522504488.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Maya Rhodan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/maya-rhodan/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt659c83447c3e5573/69889b62656a3f3d17bcc39e/gettyimages-522504488.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Bernie Sanders Holds Campaign Rally At Penn State","caption":"Bernie Sanders Holds Campaign Rally At Penn State","creditText":"Jeff Swensen—Getty Images","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":"https://time.com/4400713/bernie-sanders-hillary-clinton-new-hampshire-2/","name":"Bernie Sanders Set to Endorse Hillary Clinton at New Hampshire Rally"}}]}] ```
