Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama met with former rival Senator Hillary Clinton at her home in Washington on Thursday, according to media reports Friday.
The reports said it was "a small meeting" with perhaps just the two senators and a few aides in attendance.
There is intense speculation Obama might pick Clinton as his running mate for November's presidential election against Republican John McCain
Obama said before that it's not in his best interest -- or in the interest of Clinton -- to make a hasty decision about whom his running mate will be.
U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Obama speaks at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) policy conference in Washington, U.S., June 4, 2008. In an email letter sent to her supporters, Clinton confirmed news reports that she will end her presidential bid and endorse Obama on Saturday.
However there is no official announcement about whether it will be a unconditional quitting or just a suspension of her campaign.
Obama became the first African-American to be a major party's presidential nominee as the Democrat Party wrapped up this year's nomination primaries Tuesday.
He has passed the threshold of 2,118 delegates needed to secure the nomination, after six months of fierce competition with Hillary Clinton.
The meeting with Obama was initiated by Clinton after a daylong series of talks between their aides.
