Real Clear Politics: Obama Endorses Clinton; Sanders Continues Campaign

By Alexis Simendinger, Jun. 9, 2016, Real Clear Politics


President Obama formally endorsed Hillary Clinton in a video released Thursday, hours after a meeting with Clinton’s opponent, who said he is taking his presidential bid to the end of the primary calendar next Tuesday.

Obama plans to campaign with Clinton in Wisconsin Wednesday, following the former secretary of state’s launch of the general election battle in Ohio Monday and in Pennsylvania Tuesday. Clinton’s team announced her joint appearance with the president in Green Bay “to discuss building on progress we’ve made” and “vision for America.”

The apparently pre-taped endorsement emerged shortly after Bernie Sanders met with the president at the White House and showed no immediate signs of suspending his campaign or endorsing the presumptive nominee this week. But Sanders hinted at an eventual coming-together of the two foes in a joint bid to defeat the GOP ticket.
