Sanders backs off when asked about supporting Hillary.

Hillary Clinton suggested during a town hall event Monday that she expects Bernie Sanders to urge his supporters to vote for her in the general election, but Sanders wouldn’t commit — instead saying “it is incumbent upon Secretary Clinton” to make the case to his backers that she should be elected.

But when faced with a follow-up question about the political implications of not supporting Clinton, Sanders immediately suggested he wasn’t ruling anything out.

I will do everything in my power to make sure that no Republican gets into the White House in this election,” he told moderator Chris Hayes at an MSNBC town hall event in Philadelphia.

Speaking to Rachel Maddow in a segment that aired after Sanders’, Clinton recalled her experience losing to Barack Obama in 2008 and how she didn’t hesitate to support him after she withdrew from the race.
