Former President Bill Clinton, husband to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, suggested Thursday that he’d use his superdelegate vote to support Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) if he won the Democratic nomination.
The former President told The New York Daily News that he did the same thing in 2008 when Hillary Clinton lost the nomination to then-Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL).
“It happened last time,” Clinton told the newspaper. “Last time I did what my candidate asked, I voted for Barack Obama.”
The New York primary is April 19. The Daily News reported that a handful of superdelegates in New York have pledged to support Clinton regardless of the results of the primary.
