Hillary Clinton is to join Barack Obama at a rally - their first public event since she pulled out of the race to be the Democratic presidential candidate.
The rally in Unity, New Hampshire, is seen as an opportunity for party supporters to come together after the divisive primary battle.

Mrs Clinton is expected to back Mr Obama's White House bid at the rally.
The BBC's North America editor, Justin Webb, says the get-together in Unity is rich in political symbolism.
As well as the name, it is also the town whose Democrats were evenly split - 107 voted for Obama, 107 for Clinton.
Debt burden
Mr Obama and Mrs Clinton greeted each other with a kiss and a handshake when they caught the flight to New Hampshire on Friday. They also sat next to each on the plane, the Associated Press reports.
Prior to Thursday's dinner, the two had not met in person since two days after the last primaries.
Latest opinion polls suggest that while Mr Obama has made headway in winning over Mrs Clinton's supporters since she withdrew from the nomination race, one in five of them has indicated they will vote for the Republican candidate, John McCain.
Our correspondent adds that Thursday's fundraising dinner was important for both sides - the Clinton campaign needs an injection of cash to pay off $20m (Ј10m) debts, but Mr Obama needs the financial muscle of the Clinton money raisers.
Mrs Clinton's advisers have warned Mr Obama that her ability to campaign on his behalf will be limited if she has to spend the summer raising money to pay off her debts.
