Sanders hasn’t conceded or formally endorsed Clinton and has called for her to make some changes in her platform, though he has said he would vote for her.
“This proposal combines some of the strongest ideas which she brought forth during the campaign with some of the principals that I brought forth”, Sanders said at a news conference Wednesday.

Sanders says he hopes to make similar progress with Clinton on a number of economic issues.

Will replacing the monstrous mash-up of government bureaucracy and free market capitalism that is the ACA with single-payer healthcare be the final domino to fall before Sanders offers Clinton his endorsement? Sanders’ presence and voice, Grijalva said, will be important to unity.
Sanders was reportedly booed Thursday during a private meeting with House Democrats who were angry at him for withholding his endorsement.
So far, Bernie Sanders has announced that he will hold a huge rally the night before the Democratic National Convention on July 24 at FDR Park in Philadelphia.
