Last night Senator Clinton told her supporters it was not yet time to make a decision about the future of her campaign. But tonight, ABC News is reporting that the former first lady's road to the Democratic nomination ends Friday.
"ABC News has learned Sen. Hillary Clinton told supporters on a conference call Wednesday that she will appear alongside her supporters on Friday, Democratic sources tell ABC News' Kate Snow," the network reports. "All indications are that Clinton will concede her presidential race there, two Democratic sources tell ABC News' Kate Snow."
It's a thin reed to stand on, but at least one additional political news outlet is claiming to have confirmed ABC's rumor.
"A senior source in Clinton's camp said she'll drop out of the race for the White House on Friday, confirming an ABC News report," the Politico's Ben Smith says.
A third campaign beat reporter's take on the report seemed less certain that Friday would be it for Mrs. Clinton.
"[Clinton] is moving to suspend her campaign and endorse Senator Barack Obama on Friday after Democratic members of Congress urged her Wednesday to leave the race and allow the party to coalesce around Mr. Obama, according to a senior adviser to Mrs. Clinton," the New York Times' Adam Nagourney wrote in a blog post.
