PTC: August 8, at 1:15 pm in Department 3 Courtroundup By Ken Thomas and Kathleen Ronayne TheAssociatedPress PORTSMOUTH, N.H. With hugs and handshakes, Ber- nie Sanders endorsed Hill- ary Clinton for president on Tuesday and emphatically toldhissupporterstheir"po- litical revolution" must now turn to electing his Demo- cratic former rival. Sanders bestowed his long-awaited support before aboisterousNewHampshire crowd, declaring he wanted to make it "as clear as pos- sible as to why I am endors- ing Hillary Clinton." He con- gratulated her for securing enough delegates to win the Democratic nomination and vowed to do everything he could to help her defeat Re- publican candidate Donald Trump. "This campaign is not re- ally about Hillary Clinton, or Donald Trump or Bernie Sanders, or any other candi- date who sought the pres- idency. This campaign is abouttheneedsoftheAmer- ican people and addressing the very serious crises that we face," Sanders said. He added: "And there is no doubt in my mind that, as we head into November, Hillary Clinton is far and away the best candidate to do that." As Sanders deliv- ered the endorsement just two weeks shy of the Dem- ocratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Clinton of- fered a huge smile, embrac- ing him as they raised their arms in unity. The former secretary of state said the fi- nal four months of the cam- paign would be "much more enjoyable" working along- side Sanders and echoed her campaign slogan, "We are stronger together." During much of her re- marks, Clinton embraced many of Sanders' causes, vowingtoopposetradedeals like the Trans-Pacific Part- nership, fight to raise the federal minimum wage — adopting Sanders' tone, she called it a "starvation wage" — and overhaul the cam- paign finance system. "These aren't just my fights. These are Bernie's fights. These are America's fights," Clinton said. Democratshavecoalesced around Clinton's candidacy since she defeated Sand- ers in primaries last month in California and five other states, helped along by en- dorsements from President Barack Obama, Vice Pres- ident Joe Biden and oth- ers. In a high-profile rally last month, Clinton was em- braced by Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a lib- eral stalwart popular with Sanders' followers. Sanders has spent the past month seeking to in- fluence the party's platform for the Philadelphia conven- tion and promote electoral reforms including allow- ing independents to partic- ipate in future primaries. He called the platform "the most progressive" in history and hailed steps to create a $15anhourminimumwage, prevent Wall Street malfea- sance and address climate change. The event at a Ports- mouth high school sought to projectDemocraticunitybe- fore Republicans formally nominate Trump next week in Cleveland but some Sand- ers' supporters in the crowd did not appear to be ready to move on. Chants of "Bernie" broke out in the gymna- sium while opening speak- ers addressed the crowd, prompting Clinton's faith- ful to chant, "unity." When Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, a Clin- ton supporter, told the au- dience, "We need to elect Hillary," some Bernie sup- porters stood and shouted, "No," which was followed by chants of "Hillary" in the crowd. "It's like he's giving up if he endorses her," said SteveRand,ahardwarestore owner from Plymouth, New Hampshire, before the two candidates took the stage. He added: "She stands for everythingthatIamagainst. But James LePage, a 25-year-old teacher from Denver who attended the rally, said he felt Clinton was "genuine" in her remarks. "I heard a lot of Bernie in her voice, which I wasn't willing to listen to before," LePage said. Recent polls have shown that many Sanders voters plan to back Clinton but have reservations about her honesty. A new Gen- Forward poll of adults ages 18 to 30 found that Clinton was struggling to make in- roads among young Amer- icans who overwhelmingly supported Sanders. PRESIDENTIAL RACE SandersfinallyendorsesClinton ANDREWHARNIK—THEASSOCIATEDPRESS Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., wave to supporters as Sanders endorsed Clinton during a rally in Portsmouth, N.H., on Tuesday. By Darlene Superville The Associated Press DALLAS At a memorial for slain police officers, Presi- dent Barack Obama de- clared Tuesday that a week of deeply troubling violence has seemed to expose "the deepestfaultlinesofourde- mocracy." But he insisted the nation is not as divided as it seems and called on Americans to find common ground in support of racial equity and justice. Obama acknowledged that Americans are unset- tled by another mass shoot- ing and are seeking an- swers to the violence that has sparked protests in cit- ies and highlighted the na- tion's persistent racial di- vide. Five Dallas officers were killed last Thursday while standing guard as hun- dreds of people protested the police killings of black men in Louisiana and Min- nesota earlier in the week. "It's hard not to think sometimes that the center might not hold, that things might get worse," Obama said. "We must reject such despair." He joined politicians, po- lice officers and families of the fallen in the wake of the shockingslayingsbyablack man who said he wanted revenge for the killings of blacks by police. "The soul of our city was pierced," Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said as he welcomed Obama to the memorial service. It was organized to help combat "a common disease" of vi- olence and honor those who fight it, "our men and women in blue, our peace- makers in blue." Rawlings spoke steps from five empty chairs and portraits of the dead offi- cers. A call for national unity and solidarity was rein- forced by several speakers at the interfaith service, in- cluding former President George W. Bush, a Dallas resident,whoattendedwith his wife, Laura. "At times it feels like the forces pulling us apart are stronger than the forces binding us together," Bush said. "Too often we judge other groups by their worst examples, while judging ourselves by our best inten- tions. And this has strained ourbondsofunderstanding and common purpose." "We want the unity of hope, affection and higher purpose," he said. Obama has denounced the shooting as a "vicious, calculated and despicable attack on law enforcement" by a"demented" individual. And he has argued that, de- spite the heated public out- cry of the past week, the country is not as divided as it may seem. Obama's choice of trav- eling companions under- scored the theme. Repub- lican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and House Demo- cratic Leader Nancy Pe- losi of California joined Obama on Air Force One for the flight to Dallas. Re- publican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas spoke at the ser- vice but did not travel with the president. He said the attack was deeply personal.
