Clinton gets Sanders, Michelle backing

(ANSA) - Philadelphia, July 26 - United States First Lady Michelle Obama and former Democratic presidential contender Bernie Sanders have given their full backing to former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton in her bid for the White House in November. "There's just one person I believe in for the presidency and it's Hillary Clinton," Michelle Obama told the Democratic National Convention underway in Philadelphia.
    "This election will decide who has the power to define our children's future. And I believe in Hillary," she continued, adding that the former first lady had the "temperament" to be president. "Hillary Clinton must become the next president of the United States, there's no choice," echoed Vermont Senator Sanders, who lost to Clinton in the Democratic primaries despite a strong campaign. "This election must be about bringing our people together, not dividing us up," he added in a clear reference to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
