After a private Oval Office meeting with President Barack Obama, Sen. Bernie Sanders said today he expects to “work together” with Hillary Clinton to defeat Donald Trump while vowing to continue campaigning up to the Washington, D.C., primary on Tuesday.
Sanders arrived at the White House this morning for the meeting, two days after Obama effectively declared Clinton the winner of the Democratic primary contest.
"I look forward to meeting with her in the near future to see how we can work together to defeat Donald Trump," Sanders said after the meeting.
While he vowed to compete in next week's primary, he promised to carry only his platform to his party's convention this summer.
