Clinton, who beat Sanders for the Democratic nomination only to lose the 2016 election to Donald Trump, has made waves with comments about Sanders in the new documentary “Hillary” saying “nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him.”

But in comments at the Berlinale film festival where she is promoting the four-hour documentary that will debut on Hulu in March, Clinton says her top priority is unseating Trump.

“I’m going to wait and see who we nominate,” she says. “I will support the nominee, and it won’t surprise you to hear me say that I think that it’s imperative that we retire the incumbent.”
