Clinton to meet with House Democrats on Wednesday

By JOHN BRESNAHAN 06/21/16 08:31 AM EDT

Presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton will meet with House Democrats on Wednesday, according to party sources.

It will be her first appearance before House Democrats since securing the party's nomination, and it will give rank-and-file Democrats a chance to publicly display their support for Clinton.

Clinton is coming to the Hill at the invitation of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Democratic Caucus Chairman Xavier Becerra (Calif.).

Clinton had overwhelming support from House and Senate Democrats during her long primary fight with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and party leaders are pleased so far with her efforts to unite Democrats since clinching the nomination. Clinton has been formally endorsed by President Barack Obama and the rest of the party leadership, and she has meet privately with Sanders to try to smooth over their relationship. Clinton is now vetting potential vice presidential picks, raising money and assembling a nationwide campaign organization as she prepares for the Democratic convention in Philadelphia next month.
