Obama: It Would Be "Extremely Helpful" For Nomination Race To Be Over Soon
Barack Obama said last night that it would be better for the potential Democratic nominee to be able to shift into the general election, instead of letting a divisive primary last for months longer.
"I think giving whoever the nominee is two or three months to pivot into the general election would be extremely helpful, instead of having this drag up to the convention," Obama told reporters on board his plane.
It's possibly the closest he has come to openly wishing Hillary Clinton would drop out of the race, and perhaps even a nod-and-wink appeal to uncommitted super-delegates who might prefer that the race be over sooner rather than later.
