Clinton Tells Supporters In Email She Will Endorse Obama On Saturday

In an email to supporters tonight, Senator Hillary Clinton announced that she will endorse Sen. Barack Obama on Saturday in Washington, D.C.:

I wanted you to be one of the first to know: on Saturday, I will hold an event in Washington D.C. to thank everyone who has supported my campaign. Over the course of the last 16 months, I have been privileged and touched to witness the incredible dedication and sacrifice of so many people working for our campaign. Every minute you put into helping us win, every dollar you gave to keep up the fight meant more to me than I can ever possibly tell you.

On Saturday, I will extend my congratulations to Senator Obama and my support for his candidacy. This has been a long and hard-fought campaign, but as I have always said, my differences with Senator Obama are small compared to the differences we have with Senator McCain and the Republicans.

I have said throughout the campaign that I would strongly support Senator Obama if he were the Democratic Party’s nominee, and I intend to deliver on that promise.

Saying, “[t]he stakes are too high and the task before us too important to do otherwise,” Clinton indicated she would speak about how her supporters can rally around Obama.
