“Delete your account”, the presumptive Democratic nominee tweeted at Trump, quoting his attack on her and Obama.

The endorsement comes the same day Obama met at the White House with Vermont Sen.
Warren also is intrigued by the possibility that she could be picked as Clinton’s vice president but is not sure that it makes sense for her, according to the two advisers, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss her plans freely.
“I want to congratulate Hillary Clinton on making history as the presumptive Democratic nominee for president of the United States”.
According to Sanders’ campaign website, the senator will hold a campaign rally in Washington on Thursday.
Thursday events came just days after Clinton claimed enough convention delegates to clinch the Democratic presidential nomination, putting increased pressure on Sanders to exit the race.
They later made peace, as Clinton became Obama’s first secretary of state.
Sanders and Obama are due to talk privately in the Oval Office.
“It was a healthy thing for the Democratic Party to have a contested primary”.
They would like to see the party platform overhauled and reforms to the next nominating process in 2020 – opening primaries to independent voters and curbing the role of bigwig “superdelegates”. “I do think it affected turnout, we just don’t know by how much”.
“No one knows better what it takes to be both president and commander in chief than President Obama, who rescued our economy from collapse and has made the tough decisions in the White House Situation Room, ” said Clinton campaign spokesman Jesse Ferguson.
After his defeat in California, it remains unknown what Sanders’ next step would be.
The meeting itself was a very public show of respect for Sanders’ insurgent campaign. Obama sought to reassure Democrats that Clinton shares their values and is ready for the job.
Clinton was responding to Donald Trump’s accusations that the foundation accepted money from foreign governments while she served as secretary of State.
Trump has extended an olive branch to Sanders’ anti-establishment supporters, saying Tuesday: “We welcome you with open arms”.
“It’s going to be a very expensive race and it’s going to be a very, very nasty race”, Mezey said.
Obama’s endorsement will unleash Vice President Biden with his appeal to blue-collar voters.
For now, Sanders has refused to capitulate, vowing to “continue the fight” to the final Democratic primary in the capital Washington next week, and then on to the Democratic convention in July. After conceding the race, Clinton campaigned for Obama in the general election. “I told him I was proud of him and what he accomplished”.
Trump, despite a string of victories this week that reaffirmed his place as the GOP nominee, was still working to convince wary Republicans that he’s presidential material. Therefore, his is less committed to party loyalty than Clinton was eight years ago. “But we will continue to fight for every vote and every delegate we can get”. “Even after that hard-fought campaign, she went out and endorsed him, asked that his name be put into the nomination by acclimation, she campaigned with him”.

For the president, who reportedly has been itching to get off the sidelines in the race, the key question is whether voters who helped elect him twice will follow his lead now that he’s not on the ballot. Democrats have yet to see that powerful coalition of minorities, young people and women reliably show up for candidates not named Obama. “It’s going to make the Democratic party stronger and it’ll make America stronger”. “We have to work really hard”.
