Bernie Sanders would vote for Hillary Clinton if she wins the Democratic nomination, his wife Jane Sanders said in an interview with the Daily Beast that was published on Thursday.

“And I question her judgment about running super PACs that are collecting tens of millions of dollars from special interests, including Wall Street”, Sanders said.
Clinton responded by saying that the voters of NY has trusted her judgment enough to elect her to two terms in the Senate, and that President Obama had trusted her enough to name her as his secretary of State. Bernie Sanders – starting when Clinton asserted that she has continuously supported the Fight for $15 advocacy campaign.
The Brooklyn-born Sanders, who calls himself a democratic socialist, is similarly dreaming of a shock win in Clinton’s adopted home state to keep alive his dream of wresting the nomination from the Democratic frontrunner. If Clinton takes a lion’s share of the 291 delegates from NY, she could effectively put the race away, reducing Sanders’ chances of overtaking her to all but nil. Supporters, including many in their 20s and even teens, filled New York City’s Washington Square Park to hear the Vermont senator speak on Wednesday – the Sanders campaign estimated that 27,000 people were in attendance. Sanders that may well push him over the top. She’s run two ads in the state targeting GOP front-runner Donald Trump, a native New Yorker, and his policies on immigration.
Clinton, who has repeatedly attacked Sanders for his vote in Congress for a bill that protected gun manufacturers from being sued over the criminal use of their products, confronted the USA senator from Vermont when he laughed as she discussed her accusations.
Who won Thursday night’s debate?
Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Sanders on stage for their ninth debate. Her answer on releasing her speech transcripts remains mystifyingly weak; so too does his answer on releasing his tax returns, which is a more salient issue. Preference polls show Clinton and Trump leading their respective contests. A candidate needs 1 237 delegates to clinch the Republican nomination.
The debate is an opportunity for the rivals to make an impression on voters before the Empire State picks a Democratic victor in its primary on April 19, a critical contest given the vast number of delegates at stake (247 for Democrats, to be precise).
Although Clinton never directly called Sanders “unqualified”, Sanders pounced on her indirect attack and stated during a rally last week that he believed Clinton was unqualified to be president.

Sanders, whose campaign has focused squarely on economic issues, showed more fluency on foreign policy than in previous debates, particularly during an extended exchange on the intractable conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.
