BROWARD (CBSMiami) – Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton supporters, who are also delegates to the Democratic National Convention, made nice in Broward County.

It was a quick get-to-gather after Sanders endorsed Clinton earlier in the day.

“I have come here to make it as clear as possible as to why I am endorsing Hillary Clinton and why she must become our next president.”

The endorsement was something Clinton desperately needed.

“To everyone here, and everyone across the country, who poured your heart and soul into Senator Sanders’ campaign, thank you. Thank you,” Clinton said.

Clinton needs every Sanders supporter she can muster as the latest national polls show Clinton’s lead over Trump has slipped to just three points.

It wasn’t lost on these Broward Democrats.

“Turn out is so key… and Florida, if we turn out the vote, Hillary wins,” one supporter said.

Attempting to overcome lingering tension with supporters of defeated presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, the Hillary Clinton campaign in Florida sought Tuesday to depict Democrats as one big, happy, unified group.

As proof, the Clinton camp arranged for Cynthia Busch, chairwoman of the Broward Democratic Party, and Frank Ortis, mayor of Pembroke Pines, to appear before a small group of party volunteers, interns and staffers at the county party headquarters in Plantation.

Ortis is a Democratic National Convention delegate pledged to Clinton. Busch is a Sanders delegate to the party convention next month in Philadelphia.

“It’s going to be very important this year, more than ever, that regardless of who we may have supported in the primary that we are out there talking about our presumptive nominee, about Hillary Clinton, about all of her strengths,” Busch said. “I’m confident we’re going to get her elected.”
