Clinton, In Bid For Party Unity, Holds Meeting With Warren

"Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton met on Friday with U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, a leading progressive voice, to try to build party unity heading into her election campaign against Republican Donald Trump.

The two held talks at Clinton’s Washington home a day after Warren endorsed Clinton’s White House bid, adding support from the Democrats’ liberal wing as Clinton seeks to move on from her protracted primary battle with Bernie Sanders.

Former secretary of state Clinton earlier this week secured the delegates needed to win the party nomination for the Nov. 8 presidential election. Party leaders are hoping Sanders will soon drop his presidential run."

I think the purpose of this and other meetings is to coordinate their attacks against Trump. Koinos Jun 2016 #5

Warren's speech yesterday, followed by her endorsement the meeting is most definitely not "a bid for unity" Warren is solidly behind Clinton.

More like toasting to the incredible achievement. Savoring the moment and then getting down to work. I would love for Warren to be her VP, or AG choice. I also want her to stay where she is doing what she does quite well...expose trump.

They want to make sure they are on the same page and do not contradict one another in the policies they advocate and the positions they take against Trump. Maybe each will concentrate on different points of attack.
