Clinton: I'm happy to work with Sanders on shaping the platform By Daniel Strauss

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she looked forward to working with Sen. Bernie Sanders on a progressive Democratic Party platform in the leadup to the party's national convention in Philadelphia.

Clinton, speaking in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday's "State of the Union," said she was open to working with her rival on a liberal platform.

"I certainly look forward to working with Sen. Sanders in the lead up to the convention, in the leadup to the platform that will represent the Democratic Party," Clinton said. "It will be a progressive platform. I've run on a progressive agenda. I really welcome his ideas and his passion and commitment because the most important thing in November."

Clinton's comment comes as Sanders has tacitly shifted the focus of his campaign from winning the Democratic nomination (which is increasingly unlikely for the Vermont senator) to pushing Clinton to the left and helping to shape as progressive an agenda for the Democratic Party as possible. Sanders recently ticked off a list of priorities he would like to see the Democratic Party focus on: open primaries in Democratic elections, automatic voting for anyone 18 or over, and a 50-state style campaign strategy.

"There is no more important goal and I was pleased when Sen. Sanders said the other day he's going to work tirelessly to make sure that Donald Trump was not president and I really welcome that because that has to be our primary objective," Clinton said.
