  • Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders met tonight at the Capital Hilton in downtown Washington, D.C.
  • Each candidate brought a top adviser or two and neither Democratic hopeful talked to the press as they exited the nearly two-hour meeting
  • Clinton, now the presumptive nominee, hopes to unify the party before the Democratic National Convention, while Sanders will likely stay in
  • Today Sanders articulated a number of demands on the Democratic Party including ridding it of superdelegates and working toward open primaries

Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders met for nearly two hours in Washington tonight as the Democratic primary season came to a close.

Neither Democratic candidate gave a clue to how the conversation went to the legions of reporters staking out the meeting at the Capital Hilton, a downtown D.C. hotel located on the famed K Street just steps from the White House, a residence that both politicians had sought.

At stake – cohesion in the Democratic Party, with Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee, and Sanders, her rival refusing to get out, attempting to hash out some sort of treaty so that they might take on the presumptive Republican nominee, Donald Trump, as a united front.

Clinton came into the meeting armed with another win – she soundly beat Sanders in today's District of Columbia primary by a whopping 58 points, once all the precincts were in.

The former secretary of state arrived via the back entrance and brought along campaign manager Robby Mook, campaign chairman John Podesta and her longtime aide Huma Abedin, according to an NBC News embed on the scene.

Sanders arrived at the front entrance alongside wife Jane, and likely came to the 'summit,' as it was being called, with at least four demands.

The Vermont senator had his campaign manager Jeff Weaver and his wife sit through the meeting, while Podesta and Mook stayed by Clinton's side, according to the New York Times.

One Sanders adviser told the Times that the Vermont senator felt no pressure to endorse the former secretary of state quickly, setting up a five and a half week wooing period for Clinton in advance of the party's late July convention.

In a statement, the Sanders campaign confirmed the meeting's attendees and called the get-together a 'positive discussion about how best to bring more people into the political process and about the dangerous threat that Donald Trump poses to our nation.'

'Sanders congratulated Secretary Clinton on the campaign she has run and said he appreciated her strong commitment to stopping Trump in the general election,' it continued.

The issues they discussed included raising the minimum wage, 'real' campaign finance reform, universal healthcare, college affordability and student debt, the statement said.

'Sanders and Clinton agreed to continue working to develop a progressive agenda that addresses the needs of working families and the middle class and adopting a progressive platform for the Democratic National Convention,' it concluded.

As for Sanders' demands, he articulated some earlier today at a Washington, D.C. press conference.

'We have to replace the current Democratic National Committee leadership,' Sanders said.

He's long held a grudge against current DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, suggesting that the party had favored his rival throughout the primary process.

He even went as far as to endorse Wasserman Schultz's primary opponent for her House seat in Florida.

Sanders looked toward the convention and said he wanted to see the Democratic Party approve of 'the most progressive platform ever passed.'

He also hoped to see open primaries and same-day registration, voting mechanisms that – had they been in place in every state – might have given a boost to Sanders campaign, which was often aided by independents who chose to vote in the Democratic primaries.

Finally, he wanted the party to get rid of superdelegates, party faithful that cast a vote at the Democratic National Convention.

Without the help of superdelegates, Clinton wouldn't technically be the presumptive nominee, though she has the majority of pledged delegates and won the Democrats' popular vote.

Earlier in the day, Clinton had previewed the conversation on Telemundo, suggesting it would be a 'wide-ranging conversation.'

The Democratic duo chose to meet on neutral ground at the Capital Hilton, a large D.C. hotel located on K Street and just steps from the White House

'We're going to discuss our common goals and how we can work together,' she said of the planned conversation with her longtime rival.

'Senator Sanders and I have a lot to talk about –we have a lot in common,' she said.

While just 10 days ago, Sanders was set on the Democratic race ending with a 'contested convention' in Philadelphia, terminology he used at a Los Angeles press conference on June 4, he was more nebulous about the conclusion of his campaign in the aftermath of his meeting with President Obama last Thursday.

Outside the White House, Sanders simply mentioned the convention as a means to get the platform he would like to see.

'These are the issues that we will take to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia at the end of July,' he said, after listing off some of his trademark issues he's discussed throughout the campaign.

Though campaign aides told Dailymail.com today that Sanders had no plans to drop out tonight.

'It was made very clear today he definitely doesn't have the c-word in his vocabulary,' a senior campaign aide told DailyMail.com, referring to the term 'concede.'

Instead, Sanders will talk to his supporters via livestream on Thursday night to address 'what's next for our campaign.'

'He definitely will not be dropping out tonight,' the aide told DailyMail.com. 'And when he does finally give a "speech" it won't be what folks are expecting.'
