<p>After a long and sometimes contentious campaign, Sen. Bernie Sanders appears ready to side with Hillary Clinton.</p><p>CNN reports Sanders will&nbsp;<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/10/politics/inside-politics-bernie-sanders-hillary-clinton-new-hampshire/index.html" target="_blank">officially endorse</a>&nbsp;his Democratic rival Tuesday in New Hampshire, a state the Vermont senator won by&nbsp;<a href="http://www.politico.com/2016-election/results/map/president/new-hampshire" target="_blank">more than 20 percentage points</a>&nbsp;in February. And this endorsement has been a long time coming.</p><p>Sanders has drawn criticism from the Democratic Party for withholding his endorsement for so long. Although he did say he wanted to&nbsp;<a href="http://www.newsy.com/videos/sanders-agrees-to-team-up-with-clinton-to-defeat-trump/" target="_blank">help defeat Donald Trump</a>, he has yet to throw his weight behind Clinton.</p><p>The Democratic primaries season ended in June, but Sanders hasn&#39;t stopped pushing his principals, and it seems to be working. Clinton has adopted some of Sanders&#39; more progressive stances with a few tweaks.</p><p><b>SEE MORE:&nbsp;</b><a href="http://www.newsy.com/videos/why-bernie-sanders-is-still-the-big-winner-of-this-primary-season/" target="_blank"><b>Why Bernie Sanders Is Still The Big Winner Of This Primary Season</b></a></p><p>Clinton&#39;s campaign announced a cheaper version of Sanders&#39; plan to offer&nbsp;<a href="http://www.newsy.com/videos/clinton-s-plan-for-free-college-looks-like-sanders-plan-but-cheaper/" target="_blank">free tuition</a>&nbsp;for in-state colleges. And her&nbsp;<a href="http://www.newsy.com/videos/clinton-s-new-health-care-plan-is-another-nod-in-sanders-direction/" target="_blank">health care plan</a>&nbsp;now favors universal public care instead of a private option.</p><p>And it&#39;s safe to assume Clinton agrees with Sanders&#39; stance on&nbsp;<a href="http://www.newsy.com/videos/fbi-director-gives-congress-a-four-hour-lesson-on-clinton-s-email/" target="_blank">her emails</a>.&nbsp;</p><p>&quot;The American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails,&quot;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOOfwN0iYxM" target="_blank">Sanders said</a>&nbsp;during a debate with Clinton.</p><p>Now it seems like the entire party is getting onboard with Sanders&#39; ideas. Democrats also included a push for a&nbsp;<a href="http://www.newsy.com/videos/democrats-will-make-15-minimum-wage-part-of-party-message/" target="_blank">$15-an-hour minimum wage</a>&nbsp;when they announced their official party platform Saturday.</p><p>But that doesn&#39;t mean they agree on everything. Clinton and Sanders backers weren&#39;t able to come to a consensus on international trade, specifically the Trans-Pacific Partnership, while hammering out the Democratic platform for 2016.</p><p>But Sanders&#39; camp seems optimistic about how things played out, with one top adviser saying, &quot;We got 80 percent of what we wanted in this platform.&quot;</p><p><i>This video includes images from Getty Images and clips from&nbsp;</i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jK2eIpj6-c" target="_blank"><i>MSNBC</i></a><i>,&nbsp;</i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOOfwN0iYxM" target="_blank"><i>CNN</i></a><i>,&nbsp;</i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyee_sxJpXc" target="_blank"><i>Bernie 2016</i></a><i>&nbsp;and&nbsp;</i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1wRoI-8dhg" target="_blank"><i>Hillary for America</i></a><i>.
