Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) told reporters Friday that she offered her house for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to have a private conversation about the future of the Democratic party.
Feinstein, the senior senator of California, said that she got a call from Clinton late Thursday afternoon asking to use her home for a meeting with Obama. Feinstein said she's offered up her house in previous conversations after Tuesday's final primaries.
"They just want an opportunity to meet together alone," she told reporters. The meeting started about 9:00 pm ET.
"I received them. Put them in the living room, two comfortable chairs facing one another and left." No staff, no security, just water for candidates. One person from each campaign sat in Feinstein's study. "They talked. I went upstairs and did my work."
After an hour, Feinstein said "They called me when it was over. I came down and I said, 'Good night everybody. I hope you had a good meeting.' They were laughing, and that was it."
Feinstein, the longtime Clinton supporter, refused to give details about the conversation that Clinton and Obama had. "They got along very well," she said.
Clinton is expected to concede from the Democratic presidential race Saturday. Obama clinched the party nomination on Wednesday after the Montana and South Dakota primaries.
