Finally, as Obama was headed back to Chicago on a private plane and Clinton had returned to her home, another rarity took place. A joint statement was issued by representatives of the two senators, but sent out by Obama’s staff.

“Senator Clinton and Senator Obama met tonight and had a productive discussion about the important work that needs to be done to succeed in November,” the statement said.
Clinton’s farewell from the race is on Saturday.
