Obama Endorses Hillary, First Campaign Appearance next week
Following a private meeting with President Barack Obama at the White House on Thursday, Sen. Bernie Sanders announced that he is willing to work together with Hillary Clinton to defeat Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president. “I look forward to meeting with her in the near future to see how we can work together to defeat Donald Trump and create a government which represents all of us and not just the one percent,” Sanders told reporters outside the White House. “I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure Donald Trump does not become President of the United States.”
The Vermont senator, however, stopped short of endorsing Clinton, telling reporters he had no intention of dropping out of the race for the Democratic nomination just yet.
About 20 minutes ago, both the Clinton campaign and the White House released the above Obama Endorsement Video and announced that the Obama-Clinton duo will have their first joint campaign appearance on June 15 in the Green Bay, Wisconsin area.
Obama gave a great statement. I liked how he emphasized the historic opportunity a Hillary Clinton presidency represented. I also appreciated how he emphasized the important issues that Bernie Sanders brought to the campaign.
Hillary can only benefit greatly from having Obama campaign for her. Of the many critics of Trump, I think Obama has been the most effective in pointing out how Trump’s positions are nonsense. And Obama has only done it sporadically so far. I’m sure he’ll start cranking it up now. Donald is in for it.
