PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — Bernie Sanders is expected to officially endorse Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid here Tuesday, ending a primary campaign that defied expectations and tested the notion that Clinton’s claim to the Democratic nomination was inevitable.

The Vermont senator will appear with Clinton at 11 a.m. at Portsmouth High School to discuss their shared commitment “to building an America that is stronger together and an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top,” both campaigns announced. Other joint appearances are still being nailed down, according to Sanders' campaign.

The appearance in the Granite State, where Sanders trounced Clinton in the Feb. 9 primary and received more votes than any other candidate in the contest's history, recalls the moment in 2008 when Clinton and then-senator Barack Obama held their first large rally together in Unity, N.H., after Clinton conceded the Democratic nomination race to Obama.
