Senators Clinton and Obama: Reuniting. Will It Feel Good?

  Senators Clinton and Obama will meet next Thursday, June 26 at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C. This is their first public meeting since Senator Clinton suspended her campaign. The Senator just returned from vacation this past weekend.

The meeting was announced today via an email from Jonathan Mantz, Senator Clinton’s National Finance Director. 

“As we move forward, we invite you to join us for a National Finance Committee meeting with both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama on Thursday, June 26th in Washington, D.C., to discuss how we can work together to support Barack Obama and the Democratic Party,” … “Hillary ran for President because she wants to put this country on the right track.” …”She continues to fight and stand strong for our values and priorities and will do everything she can to unify the party and to elect Barack Obama the next President of the United States.”

The joint meeting will be an introduction to some of Clinton’s top donors in anticipation of them fundraising and donating to the Democratic Party and to the Obama general election.
