Sanders to Campaign With Clinton in New Hampshire Today

(Bloomberg) -- Senator Bernie Sanders will join presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton at an event in New Hampshire on Tuesday, their campaigns said.

Sanders made his most pro-Clinton comments to date on Thursday, signaling a formal endorsement of his primary rival was imminent. “We have got to do everything that we can to defeat Donald Trump and elect Hillary Clinton,” he said in a taping for PBS’s “Charlie Rose” program.

Clinton and Sanders will “discuss their commitment to building an America that is stronger together and an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top,” at Portsmouth High School, according to e-mailed statements from the two campaigns.

Federal Judge Rules for Anti-Trump GOP Delegate

(NBC News) -- A federal judge blocked enforcement Monday of a Virginia law binding delegates to support the primary winner at the nominating convention.

It was a victory for Carroll "Beau" Correll, a delegate to the Republican national convention who argued that the law violated his First Amendment rights to vote for his preferred candidate. Correll supported Ted Cruz in the primary, while Donald Trump received the most votes in the state.

Correll said in an interview that the Trump campaign got "morbidly humiliated" by the outcome of the case. "They put all their chips on the table and they lost all of them — if I were them I'd go hide in a closet in Trump Tower," he said.

Ryan's Request To Block Clinton From Intelligence Briefings Is Denied

(CNN) -- House Speaker Paul Ryan's attempt to block Hillary Clinton from receiving intelligence briefings once she's formally nominated by Democrats -- given her use of a private email server -- has failed.

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told Ryan in a latter obtained Monday by CNN that he "does not intend to withhold briefings from any officially nominated, eligible candidate."  Ryan made the request after Clinton was severely criticized by the FBI for her email use, but not punished.

"Nominees for president and vice president receive these briefings by virtue of their status as candidates, and do not require separate security clearances before the briefings," Clapper wrote to Ryan. "Briefings for the candidates will be provided on an even-handed non-partisan basis."

Poll: Clinton Struggles To Make Inroads With Young Americans

(Washington Post) -- Hillary Clinton is struggling to make inroads among young Americans who overwhelmingly supported Bernie Sanders during the Democratic presidential primary, a worrisome sign as she tries to reassemble the coalition that twice propelled Barack Obama into the White House.

Opinions of Clinton among young Americans vary by race and ethnicity, according to a new GenForward poll of adults ages 18 to 30. The majority of the nation’s younger blacks and Asian-Americans have a favorable impression of Clinton, but the presumptive Democratic nominee struggles with whites and Hispanics.

Just 26 percent of young whites and 49 percent of Hispanics have a positive opinion of the former secretary of state. Both groups overwhelmingly say she is not trustworthy.
