WASHINGTON (AP) — The latest developments in the 2016 campaign for the presidency. All times EDT:


Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid has congratulated Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on becoming the presumed Democratic presidential nominee.

That's the word Thursday from the Democrat's office. Reid had endorsed Clinton several weeks ago. The senator was meeting with Clinton's rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, on Thursday as Democrats press for unity after a hard-fought primary campaign.

Party leaders recognize that the process won't be easy. The top Democrat in the House, Nancy Pelosi, acknowledged that on Thursday.

"People have their hopes and dreams, their aspirations riding on a candidate. And sometimes it's really harder for the supporters to come to reconciliation than it is the candidate," Pelosi told reporters. "Bernie Sanders knows what's at stake in this election, what's on the line. I have no doubt that he'll be very constructive as we go forward."

Obama is expected to formally endorse Hillary Clinton shortly after the meeting.
