RALEIGH, N.C., May 3 (UPI) -- Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, appearing at a campaign stop in North Carolina, promised unity regardless of which one is the Democrats' presidential nominee.
Obama and Clinton were appearing Friday at the North Carolina Democratic Party's annual Jefferson-Jackson dinner.
"We are going to be united in the fall," said Obama, the junior U.S. senator from Illinois.
Clinton, the junior senator from New York, reciprocated, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Saturday.
"If Sen. Obama is the nominee, you better believe I'll work my heart out for him," she said. "And if I'm the nominee, I know Sen. Obama will do the very same for me."
North Carolina holds its primary election Tuesday.
U.S. Sen. John McCain of Arizona is the presumptive Republican nominee for president.
