Clinton ‘looks forward’ to Sanders meeting

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and her primary rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders, plan to meet Tuesday.

{mosads}On Monday evening, a Clinton campaign official previewed the meeting between the former secretary of State and the Vermont senator. 

“She looks forward to the opportunity to discuss how they can advance their shared commitment to a progressive agenda, and work together to stop Donald Trump in the general election.”

Sanders announced the meeting on Sunday, telling NBC’s “Meet the Press” he will do everything he can to make sure presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump is not elected president.

Sanders said Sunday he wants to get a sense of what kind of platform Clinton will be supporting and “whether she will be vigorous in standing up for working families and the middle class, moving aggressively in climate change, healthcare for all, making public colleges and universities tuition-free.

“After we have that kind of discussion and after we can determine whether or not we are going to have a strong and progressive platform, I will be able to make other decisions.”
