President Barack Obama is prepared to endorse Hillary Clinton for president, according to a CNN report that suggests the president might announce his support for the frontrunner as early as this week.

“Eager to exploit his recent spike in popularity, Obama is looking to become the most active lame duck campaigner in recent presidential history”, the network reported.
The New Jersey primary election is Tuesday, June 7, with two candidates still battling it out on the Democratic side. Political junkies are wondering how many Republican voters still aren’t prepared to vote for Trump. Trump already has secured the delegates he needed to clinch the Republican nomination for the November 8 presidential election. Her opponent Bernie Sanders, meanwhile, has vowed to take his fight to the Democratic convention in July.
“I look forward to campaigning with the president”, Clinton said.
The White House, however, is going to wait at least another 48 hours before making any official statements about the race.
“We’ve got the better arguments here”.
“So much of what we’re doing in California is what I hope we do more of in America”, Clinton said in Los Angeles over the weekend.
“That’s why I applaud what California’s doing raising the minimum wage, I want to do it nationally.and lets finally guarantee equal pay for equal work”.
Sanders has campaigned intensively in California for more than two weeks straight, blanketing the state with rallies and events in 34 cities aimed at talking directly to thousands of voters at a time. Later in the week, Obama is scheduled to host an LGBT Pride Month reception at the White House, and on Friday attend daughter Malia’s high school graduation in Washington. Sanders’ campaign has continued to argue that superdelegates do not count until the convention and thus Clinton can not secure the Democratic nomination until then.
As Sanders explained to CNN, “Hillary Clinton will not have the requisite number of pledged delegates to win the Democratic nomination at the end of the nominating process on June 14”.
Clinton said that women and men across the country tell her regularly how important it is for her. Sanders, in his speeches, said that a real change is needed in the U.S., and the people need a government that represents all citizens- and not the one percent of the creamy top layer. “It would spark another round of unflattering headlines and plenty of more handwringing by nervous Democrats who have watched a once-fractured Republican Party start to rally around Trump much faster than many expected”.
Elizabeth Warren’s attacks against Trump have earned her a special place on the real estate mogul’s Twitter page and the nickname “Goofy Elizabeth Warren”. Now Trump says he might not be able to trust a Muslim judge.
With a tie, Sanders could claim that she couldn’t win California when she needed to show strength and conviction, would resolve to go to the convention, and would probably concede at the convention after the first ballot.

Tuesday is election day, but the Field Poll reported last week that almost one in four likely voters had already cast ballots by mail.
