Hillary Clinton had another one of those private meetings with President Obama on Monday, though aides said it was more personal than professional.
“They discussed a wide array of topics, but this was mostly a social occasion,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said in announcing the meeting that was not on the president’s public schedule.
Clinton, the former secretary of state as well as front-runner for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, has had several private meetings with the president since she left the State Department. This one came a day after Obama’s prime time address on the threat posed by the Islamic State.
“When their schedules permit, President Obama and Secretary Clinton enjoy the opportunity to catch-up in person,” Earnest said. “This afternoon they met privately for an informal lunch here at the White House for about an hour and a half.”
Obama has not endorsed in the 2016 Democratic nomination race that also includes Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley.
