New York, June 5 : Bringing a close to her 17-month old campaign for the White House, New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is all set to endorse Senator Barak Obama as Democrat nominee for the President post, aides have said.
The New York Times quoted Hillary’s aides as saying that her decision came after Democrats urged her on Wednesday to leave the race and allow the party to coalesce around Obama.
Howard Wolfson, one of Hillary’s chief strategists, and other aides said that she would express support for Obama and party unity at an event in Washington on Saturday.
“Senator Clinton will be hosting an event in Washington, D. C., to thank her supporters and express her support for Senator Obama and party unity,” Wolfson said.
