WASHINGTON, June 8 (UPI) -- President Barack Obama won't formally endorse Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton to succeed him in the Oval Office until after he meets with Bernie Sanders on Thursday, the White House said.
Sources said earlier this week that Obama was eager to begin stumping for Clinton on the campaign trail, but Wednesday White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the president's support won't be made official until he can sit down with the former secretary of state's only remaining rival for the nomination.
