MSNBC is reporting that Senator Hillary Clinton will be suspending her
campaign and plans to endorse the presumptive Democratic Presidential
nominee, Senator Barack Obama, on Friday. More from the New York Times:
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is moving to suspend her campaign
and endorse Senator Barack Obama on Friday after Democratic members of
Congress urged her Wednesday to leave the race and allow the party to
coalesce around Mr. Obama, according to a senior adviser to Mrs. Clinton.
Mrs. Clinton is likely to make the announcement in New York City,
an aide said, though no final venue has been chosen.
Her decision came after a day of telephone conversations with
supporters on Capitol Hill about what she should do now that Mr. Obama
had claimed enough delegates to be able to clinch the nomination. Mrs.
Clinton had initially said she wanted to wait before making any
decision, but her aides said that in conversations, some of her
closest supporters said it was urgent that she step aside.
