Sanders's lone Senate supporter flips to Clinton
Bernie Sanders's lone supporter in the Senate is flipping to back Hillary Clinton for president.
Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), the only senator to endorse Sanders, on Friday told CNN he would back Clinton just days after she became the party's presumptive nominee.
"Certainly, I'm going to be supporting our nominee and our nominee is Secretary Clinton," Merkely told CNN.
He also said Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) would be a "wonderful vice presidential choice."
