“I’m with her. I am fired up, and I can not wait to get out there and campaign for Hillary”, Obama said in a video released by the Clinton campaign. The president’s endorsement could also end concerns about party unity after a long and intense battle between Clinton and Sanders.

“I want to congratulate Hillary Clinton on making history as the presumptive Democratic nominee for president of the United States”.
“Certainly I’m going to be supporting our nominee and our nominee is secretary Clinton, but what I really want to see is success in November and that means bringing together the two halves of the party”, he responded. “Anybody who thinks that whatever the next president – and God willing, in my view, it’ll be Secretary Clinton”, Vice President Joe Biden said.

“A person who thinks only about building walls… and not of building bridges, is not Christian”, the pope had said.
Warren told MSNBC television Thursday that she has not been asked to a be a vice presidential candidate; nor has she been vetted.
The Vermont senator also meets Thursday with Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid before heading to a rally with supporters in Washington, which holds a primary next week. Specifically, Obama said Clinton has the “courage, compassion and heart to get the job done”.
“Senator Sanders has more than earned the right to make his own decision on his own timeframe about the future of his campaign and the president certainly respects the important work that Senator Sanders has done on the campaign trail”, said Earnest in the daily briefing on Thursday.
Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement that Clinton “has telegraphed this entire campaign”, arguing that “she is running to give President Obama’s failed policies a third term”. Ms Clinton has repeatedly said she chose “not to keep” some 30,000 emails her lawyers deemed personal.
The meeting itself was a very public show of respect for Sanders’ insurgent campaign.
“The American people will not vote for or tolerate a candidate who insults Mexicans and Latinos; who insults Muslims; who insults African-Americans and women”, Sanders told reporters at the White House.
