The symbolic gesture provided an important moment after supporters for Sanders made their voices heard loud and clear early on the first day of the convention.
Clinton had already met the necessary delegate vote count by the time Vermont reported its delegate count, but the declaration by Sanders was an effort to convince his supporters to back Clinton.
Some Sanders supporters have resisted that call. A few Oregon delegates appeared at the convention on Tuesday with black gags over their mouths.

Clinton offered the same gesture to Barack Obama in 2008, a move that also helped ease tensions between two camps that had waged contentious campaigns.
