		</div><p>Hillary Clinton has brought a close to the presidential primary season with a win in the nation&#8217;s capital and a meeting with beaten rival Bernie Sanders.</p>
<p>The talks in Washington DC were aimed at setting a tone of Democratic unity heading into next month&#8217;s party convention in Philadelphia.</p>
<p>Ms Clinton&#8217;s win in the final primary of the year had no bearing on her role as the presumptive nominee, but it marked a transition in the lengthy primary fight between the two rivals.</p>
<p>In virtually identical statements released after meeting for more than 90 minutes, the Clinton and Sanders campaigns said the rivals discussed their primary campaign, &#8220;unifying the party and &#8230; the dangerous threat that Donald Trump poses to our nation&#8221;.</p>
<p>Ms Clinton told Mr Sanders she appreciated his commitment to stopping Mr Trump in the general election and the two discussed issues in which they share common goals, including &#8220;raising wages for working families, eliminating undisclosed money in politics and reducing the cost of college for students and their families&#8221;.</p>
<p>Both candidates agreed to work together on the development of the platform at the upcoming Democratic National Convention.</p>
<p>Before polls closed in Washington, Mr Sanders vowed again to do all he can to prevent Mr Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, from reaching the White House &#8211; but he declined to endorse Ms Clinton.</p>
<p>The Vermont senator had said the private meeting would help him determine how committed Ms Clinton will be to the policy issues he has staked out during his 13-month campaign.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our goal must not be to allow politicians, Donald Trump or anyone else to divide us,&#8221; he said outside his Washington headquarters, telling reporters he will continue to &#8220;fight as hard as we can&#8221; to transform the Democratic Party.</p>
<p>Mr Sanders said he would push for new leadership in the Democratic National Committee along with a progressive platform in the summer convention and electoral changes, such as primaries that allow independents to participate and the elimination of superdelegates.</p>
<p>&#8220;We need major, major changes in the Democratic Party,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Mr Sanders last week met President Barack Obama and vice president Joe Biden, who both later endorsed Ms Clinton, and signalled to Democrats that he hopes to play a constructive role in helping the party regain control of the Senate in the 2016 elections.</p>
