After losing the race for the party nomination, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton will most likely announce her support for Barack Obama. The former first lady is expected to go through the painful last act later today, The Associated Press reported.

Clinton and Obama met in private on Thursday, but their meeting became public, thus fueling speculations about the possibility of a joint Democratic ticket. Clinton managed to leave the White House undetected on Thursday night to meet with the Illinois Senator, now her former rival, at the home of Senator Dianne Feinstein.

As Clinton, New York Senator, prepares to announce her decision to support Obama in the race for the White house against republican John McCain, the 46-year-old Illinois Senator is in Chicago. The Windy City made it to the final for the 2016 Olympic Games.

Obama probably won’t be there when Clinton announces her endorsement in Washington, but specialists say it’s very important that the former first lady’s endorsement is passionate and sincere if the party is to come together.

Hillary Clinton will gather her supporters around her at noon in the National Museum Building, a place where inaugural balls and victory galas were held in the Clinton-Gore era.
She held a big afternoon farewell party with her staff at the Embassy Row mansion.

"It was very close, but now we'll do everything we can to help Barack Obama become the next President," Clinton campaign Chairman Terry McAuliffe told reporters. He was convinced that Clinton would do everything in her power to help Obama become United States’ next President.

"If he wants her to travel every day, she will do that," McAuliffe said.
