Obama Tells Donors to Throw Weight Behind Clinton
-------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, on the Democrat side, President Obama reportedly threw his
weight behind former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by telling a
group of Democratic donors to unite behind her. The New York Times
reports Obama made the comments during a private meeting with donors
after a fundraising event last Friday in Austin, Texas, for the
Democratic National Committee. This comes as Sanders is favored to win a
string of upcoming caucuses in Idaho, Alaska, Hawaii, Washington and
Wyoming. Clinton currently leads Sanders in the delegate count: 1,139 to
825.
