open-air concert. this, as strikes threaten to disrupt the event. first, the u.s. president, barack obama, has officially endorsed hillary clinton to succeed him as president. obama's or -- obama spoke shortly after meeting with bernie sanders, who insists he will still fight the final -- at thentest in convention next tuesday. ama: i know how hard this job can be. that's why i know hillary will be so good at it. in fact, i don't think there has ever been somebody so qualified hold this office.

she's got the courage, compassion, and the heart to get the job done. and i say that as somebody who had to debate her more than 20 times. laura: with the democratic primary contests almost wrapped up, they can get on the common aim, stopping republican donald trump from taking the white house. unbelievableit is to me, and i say this in all sincerity, that the republican party would have a candidate for president who, in the year 2016, makes bigotry and discrimination the cornerstone of his campaign. 's" philipance 24 crowther is in washington, d.c., with more on his endorsement. video was released by the hillary clinton campaign on her website and on youtube, in which barack obama says that he endorses her, he is with her,

using one of her campaign slogans, and saying that he cannot wait to get out on the campaign trail. he will be out on the campaign trail as early as next wednesday, the 15th -- wednesday, june 15. he will be campaigning in green bay, wisconsin, together with his former u.s. secretary of state, hillary clinton. they will be campaigning together the day after the very last primary here in washington, d.c., a primary that will still be contested between hillary clinton and bernie sanders. it looks a little bit like like -- like that might have been the deal that obama and sanders came up with earlier today. he wanted to go out on the campaign trail with her as quickly as possible, but he will wait until the whole primary season is over. it will be over next tuesday. he will be on the campaign trail the wednesday after that. laura: of course, philip, sand

ers and clinton and obama all united in one aim, that is to stop donald trump from becoming the next president of the united states. philip: that was pretty clear from bernie sanders, that he was not going to drop out straight away, but his main aim and every should nowmain aim be to stop donald trump from entering the white house in january, 2017. in other words, at some point, bernie sanders will be endorsing hillary clinton and will presumably also join the campaign trail with her and will be seen on stage with her. but not yet. bernie sanders does not want to go out without a fight. he wants to contest this very last primary. he will be able to say that he announced that he was running for president roughly a year ago. also here in washington, d.c., in front of a very proud, just -- crowd, just a few cameras, as a senator. he wants to show he went all the

way, that he contested every single primary, and came away from those with a lot of wins and a lot of supporters and a lot of sway within the democratic party. so, chances are that he will at some point suspend his campaign, though he does say that he will take it all the way to the democratic convention in philadelphia at the end of july. what that means is he wants to take his ideals, the ideals that he has been fighting for and that his supporters believe in, he wants those to be mentioned as clearly as possible at that convention. he wants those to be part of the image of the democratic party going forward. it looks like, today, pretty much everybody got their way. the hillary clinton campaign gets bernie sanders to bow out at some point. they get the endorsement from barack obama. hillary clinton now knows she will be joined on the campaign trail by the u.s. president. laura: philip crowther speaking to me earlier. the united states has urged israel not to punish innocent
