Is Sanders going to quit after all?
It seems some high profile people, including Obama are meeting with Sanders, urging him to concede victory to Clinton. There still no indication as to Sanders quitting, but he stressed the point that he wishes to work toward the unity of the Democratic party and not to produce more enmity, for the sake of deafeating Trump.

Perhaps most important is what Sanders did not say at the news conference: that he'll be lobbying the superdelegates to overturn the will of the voters and grant him the nomination.
To which he also added:
"We will continue doing everything we can to oppose the drift which currently exists toward an oligarchic form of society, where a handful of billionaires exercise enormous power over our economic, political, and media life," Sanders said. "This is the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, and we should not have millions of senior citizens and disabled veterans struggling to put food on the table."
