Both campaigns said on Monday that Sanders will join the former secretary of state at a high school in the town of Portsmouth “to discuss their commitment to building an America that is stronger together and an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top.”

They issued brief statements with that same language.

Sanders says he’ll do everything possible to help elect Clinton, edging closer to full endorsement

Sanders has yet to endorse his former rival for the Democratic nomination. But The New York Times reported last week that Sanders would appear at a Clinton rally Tuesday in New Hampshire, and that he would formally endorse her.

The daily said the anticipated pledge of support is the result of weeks of talks between the two campaigns aimed at unifying the party.
