United States President, Barrack Obama has congratulated Hillary Clinton on Tuesday for clinching the Democratic presidential nomination, and planned to meet with her party rival Bernie Sanders later this week, the White House said.
Obama called Clinton and Sanders and “congratulated both candidates for running inspiring campaigns that have energized Democrats, brought a new generation of Americans into the political process, and shined a spotlight on important policy ideas,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said in a statement.
He also said the president will meet with Sanders at the White House, “at Sanders’ request,” on Thursday.
Hillary Clinton claimed the Democratic presidential nomination on Tuesday night after decisive victories in the New Jersey and New Mexico primaries, and quickly appealed to supporters of Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont to unite with her against Donald J. Trump.
But Mr. Sanders refused to yield, insisting that he would continue his campaign and barely acknowledging her achievement.
