Recent U.S. election 2016 news revealed that there may be a reason why Hillary Clinton is not pushing Bernie Sanders to stop his candidacy. Apparently, she will need all the help from Sanders' supporters in winning the election.
CNN reported that the Democrats, especially Hillary Clinton, will not pressure Bernie Sanders to exit the race. It was noted that their doubt stems from fear of disunity within the party, especially during the U.S. election later this year.
Moreover, Clinton will need the help of Sanders' supporters in winning against Donald Trump. The Democrat presidential aspirant is believed to achieve this through being respectful of the Vermon senator's campaign.
U.S. election 2016 news has revealed that Hillary Clinton has already begun courting Sanders' supporters. This courtship is expected to continue in the coming weeks.
"I'm not calling myself that (the presumptive nominee)," Clinton told CNN's Anderson Cooper. "I know there are some contests ahead and I respect Sen. Sanders and whatever choices he's making. And I have a lot of empathy about this, Anderson. You know, I ran to the very end in 2008."
"The key here is unifying the party," a Democrat source familiar with the White House's strategy. "So with that in mind, we are being careful to let the process play through and provide the space for there to be a unifying moment for Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders."
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton's alleged hacker has been apprehended. According to Fox News, Romanian hacker Marcel Lehel Lazar, notoriously known as "Guccifer," has claimed that he was easily able to access the presidential aspirant's personal email server.
In response, Clinton's party has issued a statement denying Lazar's claims. "There is absolutely no basis to believe the claims made by this criminal from his prison cell," a spokesperson for Clinton stated.
"In addition to the fact [that] he offers no proof to support his claims, his descriptions of Secretary Clinton's server are inaccurate. It is unfathomable that he would have gained access to her emails and not leaked them the way he did to his other victims."
