In unusually candid remarks, President Obama privately told a group of
Democratic donors last Friday that Senator Bernie Sanders is nearing the point
where his campaign against
Hillary Clinton will come to an end, and that the party must soon come together
to back her.
Mr. Obama addressed the group four nights before Tuesday’s nominating
contests, in which Mrs. Clinton was heavily favored. As it happened, Mrs.
Clinton won at least four of the five states that voted — Missouri has yet to
be called — further padding her lead in the race for delegates.
Mr. Obama went on to lavish praise on Mrs. Clinton, describing her as smart, tough and
experienced, and said that she would continue the work of his administration.
Mr. Sanders has very publicly criticized Mr. Obama on certain policies and has
called for a “political revolution.”
Mr. Obama said that he understood the appeal to voters of a candidate who is authentic, the
official said.
