June 9, 2016 MORE POLITICS > Bernie Returns to Washington Sanders Heads to the White House President Obama will play peacemaker-in-chief today hosting Bernie Sanders at the White House later this morning, ABC's SHUSHANNAH WALSHE notes. The White House has said Sanders' departure from the race should be on his terms, but it's almost certain it will be discussed today at the house Sanders wanted to be the next to reside in. Tonight, Sanders will hold a rally in Washington, DC. The Democrats there vote next week -- the very last voters to cast their ballots in this country. Hillary Clinton will be part of the discussion today, but she is off the trail. ABC's ALEX MALLIN previews today's meeting: http://abcn.ws/219UW9R READ MORE   Analysis -- ABC's Rick Klein The sitting president of the United States, of course, has an outsized role in achieving party unity. But this president has something extra to offer now that his services are needed in this endeavor. Barack Obama and Bernie Sanders share something special: Both have run against Hillary Clinton, riding waves that crashed them into the establishment. Until now, the president has also resisted pleas to put a heavier thumb on the scale for Clinton, during a tense and often raucous primary season. He has particular credibility to broker peace now because Sanders is open to actually listening to his advice. Even a president can't change the math, a fact that Sanders will have to acknowledge. But he can change the Democratic Party's conversation to make sure it includes the views of the man who came way closer to the nomination than anyone could have honestly predicted. Also Happening Today -- Trump Set to Host Major Donor Gathering Donald Trump will bring together a large number of campaign donors for a meeting today at Trump Tower. According to ABC's JOHN SANTUCCI, the first-of-its-kind meeting, first reported by the New York Times, is another step forward for Trump as he builds out his operation for the general election. Sources within and close to the Trump campaign said the meeting would include members of Trump Victory, the joint coalition set up by the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee. http://abcn.ws/1TYVPmN READ MORE   Behind the Scenes -- David Muir Sits Down With Hillary Clinton on Historic Night: The Moment Before Clinton Gave Her Speech in Brooklyn When Hillary Clinton arrived Tuesday night at the Brooklyn Navy Yard's Duggal Greenhouse after clinching the Democratic nomination, her first glimpse of the celebratory crowd gave the former first lady chills. "Oh my gosh, look at this," Clinton told ABC's David Muir before their interview in a room perched above her screaming and dancing supporters. "So this is eight years ago to the day that you conceded and tonight you will go out there for a very different reason," said Muir. "That's right, that's right. It's almost hard to take in, it really is," she answered. Before Clinton stepped on that stage to deliver her first speech as the nominee, Muir asked her whether the history of the moment was sinking in, ABC's JOSH HASKELL writes. http://abcn.ws/1UF097K READ MORE   What We're Watching -- Why 'Weiner' Documentary is Also About Trump Who knew a documentary on disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner would say so much about both parties' presumptive 2016 presidential nominees, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton? Elyse Steinberg and Josh Kriegman, the filmmakers behind the newly released Sundance award-winning documentary "Weiner," were given unprecedented access to follow the scandal-plagued politician's failed shot at redemption during his 2013 campaign for New York mayor. ABC's RICK KLEIN and ALI DUKAKIS got the inside scoop on how the duo's message is also aimed at Trump and what they think Huma Abedin, one of Hillary Clinton's closest advisers and Weiner's wife, hoped to gain from sharing such a candid look at her marriage. http://abcn.ws/1swxE2W READ MORE   Ryan Urges GOP Unity Behind Trump House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, reaffirmed his support for Donald Trump in a closed-door meeting with House Republicans this morning, discussing his endorsement and comfort with Trump as the GOP nominee, according to officials who attended the meeting. "Speaker Ryan reconfirmed the detailed discussions that he's had with Mr. Trump, and he reconfirmed that he as Speaker...remains comfortable with Mr. Trump as our nominee," Rep. Chris Collins, R-New York, told reporters, an account seconded by other members, ABC's BENJAMIN SIEGEL reports. http://abcn.ws/1swhwys READ MORE   What Bernie Wants -- And What He Can Offer Without waiting for California's crucial primary results to come in, Bernie Sanders said late Tuesday that he was nonetheless going to compete in the next primary, in Washington, D.C., and beyond. The news highlighted a potentially tumultuous time ahead for Democratic voters as Hillary Clinton, just hours before, celebrated a historic feat as the first woman to claim the mantle of presumptive Democratic nominee. Despite the public rhetoric and promises, it is clear that the Sanders campaign's daily operations are changing dramatically and winding down. ABC's MARYALICE PARKS and RICK KLEIN report senior advisers to lower-level staff members, many in the Sanders universe talked late Tuesday night as though it was an end of an era for them. http://abcn.ws/24zVfeZ READ MORE   FOLLOW ABC NEWS You Might Like This email was sent to bamsdum.xiomi@blogger.com Please do not reply to this email as this address is not monitored.
