Trial Balloon · Ep. 190: Trump Is Everywhere

Sanders Meets with Obama

June 9, 2016 · 1:11 pm ET · 168 Comments

President Obama and Sen. Bernie Sanders discussed at the White House “how to engage Sanders’ largely young, enthusiastic supporters and bring their ideas into Hillary Clinton’s campaign against Donald Trump,” Bloomberg reports.

“Afterward, Sanders said he thanked Obama and Vice President Joe Biden for remaining impartial through the Democratic primary campaign… He said he still planned to compete in the Washington, D.C., primary election on June 14, but that he looked forward to discussing with Clinton how they can work together to defeat Trump. He did not endorse her.”

Said Sanders: “Needless to say I am going to do everything in my power and I am going to work as hard as I can to make sure Donald Trump does not become president of the United States.”
