Sanders says he’ll vote for Clinton, but still hasn’t conceded the race

Bernie Sanders told the hosts of MSNBC’s ‘‘Morning Joe’’ that he will vote for Hillary Clinton for president, the latest in a series of tacit admissions that he lost the primaries — and his latest refusal to actually concede.

‘‘Yes,’’ he said when asked if he would vote for Clinton.

As he has said all month, Sanders is not ending his presidential campaign until the Democratic convention. He spent Friday in New York, sitting for interviews and holding two rallies.

On CBS, Sanders said of Clinton that he hadn’t ‘‘heard her say the things that need to be said.’’

Asked what those are, he said she has yet to say how she would address the ‘‘crisis’’ in higher education costs, that she would raise the minimum wage to $15 or that she supports universal health care. (Clinton says a $15 minimum wage may only work for certain cities, that vocational education should be free but all public college should not, and that the Affordable Care Act should remain the basis for expanding coverage.)
