Clinton tells Trump – ‘Delete your account,’ fuelling Twitter war
But in another sign that the primary battle was coming to an end, Sanders’ remarks focused not on Clinton, but on presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump. Sanders noted that he may soon endorse Clinton in the presidential election. Obama sought to reassure Democrats that Clinton shares their values and is ready for the job.
“I think she (Warren) is an incredible public servant, eminently qualified for any role”, said Clinton in an interview with United States daily Politico, reports Xinhua news agency. So I’ll vote for her. After the meeting, Sanders, who still intends on campaigning through the last primary election next week in Washington D.C., said he would work with Clinton during the general election. It’s well done – it starts with honoring Sanders by having him meet with the president…
Sanders had earlier pledged to continue the fight into the national convention in July when party nomination would be formally announced. Sanders while also ushering him out of the 2016 race.
Obama’s endorsement and Sanders’ visit were the public culmination of that work.
Rarely a day goes by on the campaign trail without someone accusing Donald Trump of being racist. Warren was the only female Democratic US senator who did not endorse Clinton during the primary race.
Though his will not in all likelihood be the name at the top of the Democratic ticket, the political clout Sanders has built up by rallying his steadfast supporters could allow him to write just about any other ticket he wishes.
The ceremony and scrutiny didn’t appear to faze Sanders. “Whoever the next president is, and God willing in my view it will be Secretary Clinton”, Biden said in a speech at the American Constitution Society in Washington.
They discussed their Senate years together, and Reid, 76, wondered how Sanders, 74, had the energy to keep going. But on Thursday, he highlighted a different goal.
Sanders thus far has refused to relent to Clinton and said Thursday after a private sit-down with Obama he will “of course” compete in the final nominating contest on the calendar, the District of Columbia primary on Tuesday.
I was disappointed. I think Bernie’s message is closer to Obama’s message in 2008 – it’s a message of change, hope and about the future.
As he walked through the halls he knows so well, Sanders ignored a reporter’s question about the president’s endorsement of Clinton.

“When you say what’s the law, nobody knows what the law is going to be”, Trump said.
Obama stayed publicly neutral through the sometimes-bitter race, mindful that his involvement could tarnish his standing with parts of his own loyal coalition, namely young people and progressives. “You can certainly interpret that video as a joint endorsement”.
But while work remains to be done to unite Democrats, Thursday’s events did stake out a contrast with the messy, reluctant GOP establishment embrace of Trump.
Following Obama’s endorsement, the real estate mogul tweeted: “Obama just endorsed Crooked Hillary”.
