A week and a half after Hillary Clinton became the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, Bernie Sanders still isn't officially dropping out. But in a sign an endorsement may be slowly approaching, Sanders announced he'll work towards a shared goal. Josh Robin filed the following report.

Rivals during the primaries, Bernie Sanders is now in something of a fuzzy place with Hillary Clinton: still technically rivals, but possibly emerging teammates.

"The major political task that we face in the next five months is to make certain that Donald Trump is defeated, and defeated badly," Sanders said.

Sanders spoke in a web address. One could surmise Sanders hopes Clinton defeats Trump, but before they shake hands in unity, Sanders wants more.

"Defeating Donald Trump cannot be our only goal. We must continue our grassroots efforts to create the America that we know we can become," Sanders said.

That is policy, and political changes, and Sanders doesn't make any secret he wants Debbie Wasserman Schultz out as head of the DNC.

For now, Sanders seems intent to extract those measures in exchange for a Clinton endorsement.

How far Clinton will go, she isn't saying, sticking to defeating Donald Trump as a shared goal.

But Trump is talking. And the longer Sanders refrains from endorsing Clinton, the more Sanders seems part of the Republican’s stump speech.

"He's still out there. Bernie is out there. And I'm hearing we're going to pick up a lot of Bernie supporters, because, you know, one thing, which is amazing, but if you think about it, we're very similar on one thing, except I can do much more about it, to fix it, trade," Trump said.

Both Sanders and Trump are critical of trade deals. So is Clinton, though her previous support has some questioning her credibility.

We try to verify the speeches of the major candidates, and it should be pointed out that while Clinton didn't speak publicly, we spotted multiple inaccuracies in Trump's remarks Thursday night.

On Thursday, Trump said, "You know, I was against the war in Iraq, and I was against it from the beginning."

A 2002 radio interview shows it was at least grudgingly supportive.

"Yeah, I guess so. I wish the first time it was done correctly," Trump said at the time.

Trump has argued he wasn't a politician at the time of the interview.
