Signs Clinton, Sanders, Democrats Will Unite to Take On Donald Trump

Meanwhile, Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.), head of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, asserted that the Vermont Senator would continue to play a major role in the Democratic Party after the former secretary of state garnered enough delegates to claim her party’s nomination in the recent primaries. Elizabeth Warren endorsed Clinton, she reinforced the presumptive Democratic nominee’s original command to Trump with “No, seriously – Delete your account”.

Speaking two days earlier to NPR Radio, Mr Merkley said he hoped that Ms Clinton “will take into account the huge resonance of the vision that Senator Sanders was putting forward”. “I know how hard this job can be”, Obama said in a video statement. “We all know she’s a liar and a fraud. I don’t think there’s ever been someone so qualified to hold this office”. But with Donald Trump, who as Clinton said “doesn’t hold women in high regard”, as her opponent.

Clinton’s next move? Stating that so-called “women’s issues” will in fact be central to her campaign messaging in a speech given today at an event for Planned Parenthood. And it’s clear he plans to continue to flex his political muscles to push the Democratic platform left, and maybe even change the nominating process in order to make insurgent campaigns like his more competitive in the future.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, now at the starting line of a general election race, traded shots across the capital Friday in dueling addresses before two very different D.C. audiences – each warning the other would take the country backward. “He wants four more years of Obama–but nobody else does”, Trump tweeted.

The endorsements came after Mr Obama met Mr Sanders at the White House, where they discussed opportunities to ensure that the party remained “diverse, vibrant and inclusive”, said White House press secretary Josh Earnest.

Notice the promise to fight on-but in the name of his chosen issues, not his presidential candidacy itself.

Warren threw her support behind Clinton Thursday night, following President Barack Obama.

Mr Obama is expected to hit the campaign trail next Wednesday, joining Mrs Clinton in Wisconsin, after she makes stops in Pennsylvania and Ohio.

Clinton won almost 79 percent of the vote, compared with just 21 percent for Bernie Sanders, with almost all votes counted, according to USA networks.

The US presidential election battle between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump has barely begun but their Twitter war is on.
