President Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders Meet At The White House

“I think he and the vice president have tried to be fair and even-handed in the process and I expect they will continue to be that way”, he said.

The poll also showed that about three quarters of both Sanders and Clinton supporters said they held a high level of commitment to their candidates in Iowa and New Hampshire, going against the perception of an enthusiasm gap that many have reported in the early states.

MSNBC and the New Hampshire Union Leader announced Tuesday that they would host a debate on February 4, but the Democratic National Committee said that it has no plans to sanction the event, meaning that should a candidate attend, they could be excluded by the DNC from future sanctioned debates, reported The Hill.

CLINTON: “Well, I have been very public in saying I would like the DNC to work with all of the campaigns, because that’s what it did when it set up this schedule, and obviously we want to be supportive”.

Talking to reporters in the White House driveway after today’s meeting, Sanders acknowledged he and the president have had differences, but he said he has largely backed Obama’s agenda.

“The American people can’t afford to wait for ideas that sound good on paper but will never make it in the real world”, she says in a new television ad released Wednesday by her campaign.

When asked if he thought Obama was biased towards Clinton in a recent interview with Politico, the Vermont Senator replied, “I don’t believe that at all”.

The DNC doesn’t have much of a choice. We disagree over the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal.

On Clinton’s campaign speeches about her political experience, Sarandon had more scathing words. “If not, I think we’re going to be struggling”, he noted. A third contestant, former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley is a distant third.

Clinton has now changed her tune and is calling on the DNC to sanction the extra debate.

With the Iowa caucuses just days away, Obama recently showered praise on Clinton and threw some cold water on the Sanders.

Quinnipiac polling official Peter Brown said the Iowa trend could be reminiscent of 2008, when Clinton lost the vote in the central US state to Obama, who went on to win the Democratic nomination and the presidency. But it comes amid a push by Sanders to make policing the financial sector a key distinction in their presidential campaign.
